Mevotech Supreme Suspension Ball Joint P/N:MK3145
Whether you're shopping for a Kia Sportage ball joint or one for a Hyundai Tucson, the Mevotech Supreme MS90501 front lower ball joint installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2010 Kia Sportage and the 2005-2009 Hyundai Tucson. It is the pivot point between the lower control arm and the steering knuckle, letting the front wheel steer and move with the suspension. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
Mevotech engineers its Supreme parts in-house and adds application-specific upgrades aimed at durability and performance.
A worn ball joint may cause clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear or play at the wheel. If a failed front lower ball joint is the cause, this suspension ball joint is designed to replace it. Have the front end inspected to confirm the cause before you order.
