Mevotech TTX Suspension Ball Joint P/N:TXMS40553
Keep your steering tight and your suspension planted with the Mevotech TTX ball joint TXK6541, a front lower suspension ball joint engineered for high-usage commercial and passenger trucks, SUVs and fleets. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the 1999-2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2000-2016 Chevrolet Tahoe, 1999-2016 GMC Sierra 1500 and 2002-2016 Cadillac Escalade.
This unit presses into the larger flange diameter and uses an application-specific ball stud with a larger sphere and a thicker, stronger flange designed to resist deformation during installation. Worn ball joints can show up as clunking on acceleration or over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. This ball joint fits front lower positions across the Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC full-size trucks, SUVs and vans listed — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full application and engine list.
