Keep the front end tight and the steering precise with the Mevotech Supreme Front Lower Ball Joint MK9609 — a direct-fit D21 ball joint for the 1986-1994 Nissan D21 and the 1995-1997 Nissan Pickup. This front lower ball joint connects the lower control arm to the steering knuckle, letting the wheel steer and the suspension travel while keeping the joint located under load.
- Built for hard use: engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks.
- Quick, easy installation: secures to the vehicle with the part-specific castle nut and cotter pin provided.
- Keeps water and debris out: a pre-installed dust boot safeguards the internal components from contaminants.
- Resists corrosion: a protective surface treatment helps prevent rust build-up and adds longevity.
- Rigorously tested: extensive in-house and third-party durability testing for strength.
A worn joint can show up as clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven front tire wear. If a failed front lower ball joint is the cause, MK9609 replaces it. This Pickup ball joint also fits the 1995-1997 Nissan Pickup — see the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm your engine.
