Mevotech designs its TTX line with advanced technology for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. Its Labor Saver designs, tools and hardware are meant to make installation faster and easier.
- Maximum toughness: Patented sintered bearings are designed for longer-lasting performance.
- Quick and easy installation: The joint secures to the vehicle with a part-specific slotted castle nut and an easy snap cotter pin, both provided.
- Simple to service: A 180-degree SAE grease fitting is included to make greasing straightforward.
- Tighter grip: Knurling is designed to give a snugger fit between connecting points and to help resist distortion and corrosion.
Mevotech puts TTX parts through extensive in-house and third-party durability testing for strength. If a worn suspension ball joint is behind clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, or uneven tire wear, this front upper joint replaces it. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts.
