Keep the front suspension pivoting smoothly with the Mevotech Supreme MK8471, a front lower ball joint and direct-fit replacement for the listed applications on the 1984-1987 Lincoln Continental and 1984-1992 Lincoln Mark VII. This suspension ball joint is the pivot that links the lower control arm to the steering knuckle, so the wheel can steer and move with the suspension.
Mevotech engineers its Supreme parts in-house and gives them application-specific upgrades aimed at durability and performance. Its Labor Saver™ designs, tools and hardware are intended to make installation faster and easier.
- Installation hardware provided: The joint secures to the vehicle with the part-specific castle nut and cotter pin that come with it.
- Simple to service: A 180-degree SAE grease fitting is included, which makes routine lubrication straightforward.
- Resists corrosion: A protective surface treatment helps prevent rust buildup.
- Keeps water and debris out: A pre-installed dust boot helps shield the internal components from contaminants.
- Rigorous testing: Mevotech puts it through extensive in-house and third-party durability testing.
Signs a ball joint may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear and excess play at the wheel. Other suspension and steering parts can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before you replace parts. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for complete fitment details.
