Mevotech Supreme Suspension Ball Joint P/N:MS90513
Keep the front suspension properly located and let the steering knuckle pivot smoothly with the Mevotech Supreme Front Upper Ball Joint MK8678. This Grand Marquis ball joint drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1995-2002 Ford Crown Victoria, 1995-2002 Lincoln Town Car and 1995-2002 Mercury Grand Marquis (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details). Engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades, Mevotech Supreme ball joints are built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks.
This front upper joint connects the upper control arm to the steering knuckle, allowing controlled suspension travel while the wheel steers. Clunking or popping over bumps, wandering steering and uneven tire wear are signs the original may need replacing—if a worn ball joint is the cause, this replaces it. Extensive in-house and third-party durability testing backs its strength.
