Silence front-end clunks and keep your steering tight with the Mevotech Supreme Suspension Ball Joint (MK8142) — a direct-fit Mustang ball joint for the FRONT UPPER position on classic Ford and Mercury applications. It fits the 1965-1973 Ford Mustang, 1970-1977 Ford Maverick, 1962-1970 Ford Fairlane, 1963-1970 Ford Falcon, 1963-1971 Ford Ranchero, 1968-1971 Ford Torino, 1963-1977 Mercury Comet, 1967-1973 Mercury Cougar, and 1968-1971 Mercury Montego — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
As the front upper pivot, this suspension ball joint links the control arm to the steering knuckle, letting the suspension travel while the wheels steer. Worn joints can cause knocking over bumps, wandering steering, and uneven front tire wear — if a failed upper ball joint is the cause, this replaces it.
- Application-specific engineering: engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades and built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets, and working trucks.
- Quick, easy installation: includes the part-specific castle nut and cotter pin to secure the joint to the vehicle, part of Mevotech's Labor Saver design.
- Simple to service: a 180-degree SAE grease fitting is included so the joint can be greased in place.
Whether you're chasing down a worn Ford Maverick ball joint or refreshing the front end on an early Mustang, this is a straightforward replacement.
