Mevotech Supreme Suspension Ball Joint P/N:MK80301
Help your front suspension pivot and steer the way it should with the Mevotech Supreme ball joint MS50539, a front lower direct-fit replacement for the 1970-1976 Cadillac Calais, 1970-1976 Cadillac DeVille and 1970-1976 Cadillac Fleetwood. Mevotech engineers its Supreme parts in-house, with application-specific upgrades aimed at durability and performance. It backs this ball joint with extensive in-house and third-party durability testing.
The ball joint is the pivot point between the lower control arm and the steering knuckle. It lets the wheel turn for steering and move up and down as the suspension travels.
A worn ball joint can show up as clunking over bumps, wandering steering, uneven tire wear or play at the joint. Other suspension parts can cause these signs too, so inspect the suspension to confirm the cause before replacing. Follow the vehicle service information for installation steps and torque specifications.
