Mevotech Supreme Suspension Ball Joint P/N:MK9286
Keep the front suspension pivoting smoothly and your steering tight with the Mevotech Supreme Front Upper Ball Joint (MK7218) — a direct-fit Sebring ball joint that also drops in on the 1995-2000 Chrysler Cirrus, 1996-2000 Chrysler Sebring, 1995-2000 Dodge Stratus and 1996-2000 Plymouth Breeze. This front upper ball joint connects the control arm to the steering knuckle, letting the suspension travel and the wheel steer; if a worn joint is behind clunking, wandering steering or uneven tire wear, this replaces it.
Mevotech Supreme parts are engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades and built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. Extensive in-house and third-party durability testing backs its strength.
