Keep steering tight and front suspension movement controlled with the Mevotech Supreme Ball Joint MK8212 — a Custom ball joint engineered for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, wagons, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. This front upper unit drops in as a direct-fit replacement for classic Ford, Lincoln and Mercury applications, including the 1957-1972 Ford Custom, the 1958-1960 and 1967-1979 Ford Thunderbird, the 1970-1979 Lincoln Continental and the 1957-1974 Mercury Monterey — see the Buyer's Guide tab for all 60 applications.
As the pivoting connection between the upper control arm and the steering knuckle, this suspension ball joint helps support and locate the front suspension while allowing steering and ride motion. Mevotech Supreme parts are engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades and validated through extensive in-house and third-party durability testing.
- Quick, easy installation: secures to the vehicle with the part-specific castle nut and cotter pin provided.
- Simple to service: includes a 180-degree SAE grease fitting.
- Resists corrosion: protective surface treatment helps guard against rust build-up.
- Keeps water and debris out: a pre-installed dust boot shields the internal components from contaminants.
Clunking over bumps, wandering or loose steering and uneven front tire wear can be signs a ball joint may need replacing; if a worn front upper ball joint is the cause, this MK8212 replaces it.
