Whether you need a Galant ball joint for a 2004-2012 Mitsubishi Galant or a front lower joint for a 2006-2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse, the Mevotech Supreme MS80500 is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. As a front lower suspension ball joint, it is the pivot point that lets the steering knuckle turn and move as the suspension travels. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine details.
Mevotech engineers its Supreme parts in-house, adding application-specific upgrades aimed at increased durability and performance, and designs them inside and out for easy installation.
- A faster fit: A part-specific nylon locking nut is provided to help speed up installation.
- Keeps water and debris out: A pre-installed dust boot shields the internal components from contaminants.
- Resists corrosion: A protective surface treatment helps guard against rust buildup.
- Rigorous testing: The part goes through extensive in-house and third-party durability testing.
Signs a ball joint may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. Other suspension components can cause these symptoms too, so inspect the front end to confirm the cause before replacing.
