Mevotech designs its TTX line to be the strongest, most durable parts on the market. The line is built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. Labor Saver designs, tools and hardware are intended to make installation faster and easier.
- Maximum toughness: Patented sintered bearings are designed for longer-lasting performance. An application-specific ball stud system uses a larger sphere.
- Quick installation: The part-specific slotted castle nut and easy-snap cotter pin are provided to secure the joint to the vehicle. Pre-applied nylok thread adhesive helps keep fasteners secure and resistant to vibration.
- Simple to service: A 90-degree SAE grease fitting is included for regular lubrication.
- Fit and grip: A thicker, stronger flange is designed to prevent deformation during installation. Knurling gives a snugger fit between connecting points and helps avoid distortion and corrosion.
A ball joint is the pivot connecting the control arm to the steering knuckle. It lets the wheel steer and move with the suspension. If you're replacing a worn 2011-2015 Dodge Durango ball joint, signs it may need attention include:
- clunking over bumps
- loose or wandering steering
- uneven tire wear
Other worn suspension parts can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing.
