Product Details

Original Grade™ Ball Joint by Mevotech®. Experience improved ride comfort and smooth handling with the replacement Mevotech ball joints. They grip the control arm better and guarantee worry-free performance even during sudden turns and acceleration. Black oxide coating protects the ball joints from corrosion and dirt to promote increased product longevity.

Ball joints act as the pivot point for suspension articulation. They are designed to allow the suspension to move independently without interfering with the action of the wheel. This independent motion isolates the movement of the wheel from the chassis of the vehicle, creating a smooth and quiet ride every time. Mevotech X-factor enhanced ball joints are high quality OE ball joints that will revive your suspension. To function properly, ball joints must be held firmly in place within the control arm. Mevotech ball joints have undergone a knurling process on the outer housing which makes the ball joint to grip and mate with the control arm optimally. The metal-to-metal internal design and black oxide coating help keep the ball joints firmly in place, prevent rust and corrosion, and keep moisture and debris out to prolong the life of ball joints and ensure worry-free maintenance.

Both Failed Within 2 Months
I would not recommend these! I've used Mevotech for other products in the past and can't say I've had issues, but both of these ball joints gave me issues. One side never would seat properly and was always 'clunking' as I'd drive, corner, hit bumps etc. At first I thought it was just the one, but when I went under to replace it, I saw that both sides had completely ripped boots (street driving the whole time). Not my first time switching out ball joints either and never had problems in the past. Decided to just pay a bit more for some Subaru ones and they slid in like a glove, seated perfectly, and the car finally rides in silence again.

Good For The Price
The ball joint did not come with a cone which I had to force off of the old ball joints just so I could install. Other ball joints are sold with new cones, but for the price it was a minor set back.

Nice Solid Ball Joint but Base is Bigger than Stock so Finding Adapter for Press is a Trick
this feels like a solid replacement part, but the base is biger than the factory 2001 tacoma 4x4 ball joint. As a result, finidng the correct cup to install is dificult.

Needs installation instructions.
Hard to review the item itself without a longer time frame but it appears to be a direct replacement and as robust as the old one. Once installed the joint worked as expected and seemed to keep the proper alignment. BUT. This lower ball joint fits either side but must be oriented properly for that side. Alignment will NOT be correct if the ball joint leans the wrong way. There should be markings to help determine orientation but I could not find any. There are no warnings or instructions included. Please read a few related articles online until you understand this if you don't already know. Some of the articles are inaccurate. You will probably know pretty quick after installation if you get it backwards. Once I had a plan installation was as expected and all parts were included.

The lower ball did fit into the knuckle. It has a 90 degree grease gasket fitting that's a little tight to get on the back of the lower ball inside the knuckle tolerance. But it did work and install. It solved the problem with my passengers side lower ball joint. Time will tell how long it lasts.

Lasted 30,000 Miles
Only lasted 30,000 miles (normal city and highway driving; no off-road driving) before both lower ball joints had excessive play and needed to be replaced. At least the boots stayed in tact.

The Blue Rubber Ding Dong
The original ball joint rotted out after 34 years, If I greased it, It probably would have lasted. Hope this one does a little better,, I'll wait and see,, If I can get 68 years out of this truck I would be satisfied. Thanks to Mevotech I might !! This LOWER BALL JOINT is really nice.
