Whether you're shopping for a Probe ball joint or one for your Mazda, the Mevotech Supreme Ball Joint MK9615 is a front lower direct-fit replacement for the 1989-1997 Ford Probe, 1983-1997 Mazda 626 and 1988-1997 Mazda MX-6. It is the pivot between the lower control arm and the steering knuckle, letting the wheel steer and move with the suspension. For engine-specific details, see the Buyer's Guide tab.
Mevotech engineers its Supreme parts in-house, with application-specific upgrades aimed at increased durability and performance.
- Superior toughness: Sintered bearings are designed for longer-lasting performance.
- Simple to service: A 135-degree SAE grease fitting is included to make routine lubrication easy.
- Tighter grip: Knurling is designed to create a snugger fit between connecting points, helping avoid distortion and corrosion.
- Fasteners included: An application-specific pinch bolt and locking nut come with the joint to help speed installation.
A protective surface treatment helps prevent rust buildup and is intended to increase longevity.
Signs a lower ball joint may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear and noticeable play at the wheel. Diagnose the cause before replacing the part. Follow the vehicle service information for torque specifications, and have the alignment checked as the service procedure directs.
