Give your front suspension a fresh pivot point with the Mevotech Supreme Ball Joint MK8673, a front lower ball joint built to be serviceable and quick to install. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1993-1994 Ford Explorer, 1993-1997 Ford Ranger and 1994-1997 Mazda B4000, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.
Mevotech engineers its Supreme parts in-house, with application-specific upgrades intended to add durability. The line's Labor Saver™ designs, tools and hardware are aimed at making installation faster and easier. If a worn ball joint is behind the looseness in the front end of your 1993-1994 Ford Explorer, this front lower unit replaces it.
- Quick and easy installation: the joint secures to the vehicle with the part-specific castle nut and cotter pin provided.
- Simple to service: a 90-degree SAE grease fitting is included, so the joint can be greased during routine maintenance.
- Tighter grip: knurling is designed to give a snugger fit between connecting points, helping it resist distortion and corrosion.
- Resists corrosion: a protective surface treatment helps prevent rust build-up.
Mevotech puts its Supreme ball joints through extensive in-house and third-party durability testing for performance and strength. Engine details and the full list of applications are in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
