Supreme ball joints go through extensive in-house and third-party durability testing for strength and performance. The ball joint is the pivot between the lower control arm and the steering knuckle. Clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear are signs it may need replacing. If a worn ball joint is the cause, the MK7025 replaces it in the front lower position.
