Built for trucks that work hard, the Mevotech TTX ball joint TXK6696 is a front upper ball joint that forms the pivot between the control arm and the steering knuckle. It is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, including the 1999-2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, 2001-2010 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD and 2016-2019 Chevrolet Suburban 3500 HD.
Mevotech engineers its TTX™ line for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. It pairs the line with Labor Saver™ designs, tools and hardware intended to make installation faster and easier.
- Maximum toughness: patented sintered bearings are designed for longer-lasting performance.
- Quick install, simple service: a part-specific slotted castle nut and easy-snap cotter pin are provided to secure the joint to the vehicle, and a 180-degree and 90-degree SAE grease fitting is included for servicing.
- Larger sphere design: an application-specific ball stud system with a larger sphere.
- Stronger bond, tighter grip: pre-applied Nylok thread adhesive helps keep fasteners secure and vibration resistant, while knurling gives a snugger fit between connecting points to help avoid distortion and corrosion.
Signs a front upper ball joint may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. Other steering and suspension parts can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing.
