Help restore tight, predictable front-end movement with the Mevotech Supreme MK6541 front lower ball joint. It is the pivot that links the lower control arm to the steering knuckle, so the wheel can steer and travel with the suspension. It fits many trucks, SUVs and vans, among them the 1999-2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 1999-2016 GMC Sierra 1500 and 2000-2016 Chevrolet Tahoe. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
Mevotech engineers its Supreme parts in-house and adds application-specific upgrades aimed at greater durability and performance. The line is built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks.
- Superior toughness: sintered bearings designed for longer-lasting performance.
- Simple to service: a 90-degree SAE grease fitting is included, so lubrication is quick and easy.
- Fit and grip: a thicker, stronger flange is designed to prevent deformation during installation. Knurling gives a snugger fit between connecting points to help avoid distortion and corrosion.
- A faster fit: a part-specific locking nut is provided to speed up installation.
If you are shopping for a 1999-2016 GMC Sierra 1500 ball joint because of clunking over bumps, wandering steering, uneven tire wear or play at the wheel, a worn lower ball joint may be one cause. Inspect the front suspension before replacing parts.
