Mevotech Supreme Suspension Ball Joint P/N:MK90492
Help keep your steering tight and your front suspension pivoting smoothly with the Mevotech Supreme Suspension Ball Joint MK9049, a front lower ball joint engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1972-1980 Ford Courier, 1979-1980 Mazda B2000 and 1977-1978 Mazda B1800 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
This suspension ball joint links the control arm to the steering knuckle, letting the wheel pivot for steering while the suspension travels over the road. Worn joints can produce clunking or popping over bumps, wandering steering, or uneven tire wear; if a failed ball joint is the cause, this Mevotech Supreme unit replaces it. It is built and durability-tested in-house and by third parties for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks.
