As a front lower ball joint wears, you may notice clunking over the front end, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear — signs this joint may need replacing. If a worn ball joint is the cause, this MK9818 replaces it and helps locate the wheel through the suspension's range of motion.

Will this fit my 1995-1999 Nissan Maxima or 1996-1999 Infiniti I30?
Yes — MK9818 is a direct-fit replacement for the 1995-1999 Nissan Maxima and 1996-1999 Infiniti I30. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment for your vehicle.
Is this a front upper or front lower ball joint?
It is cataloged as a front lower ball joint for the listed applications.
Does it include mounting hardware?
Yes. It installs with the part-specific castle nut and cotter pin provided, and comes with a pre-installed dust boot to seal out water and debris.
What are signs I may need a ball joint replacement?
Clunking over bumps from the front end, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear can indicate a worn ball joint. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
Should I replace both sides at the same time?
Ball joints tend to wear at similar rates, so replacing the matching side together is good practice for balanced front suspension, though it is not strictly required.
