Detailed Description
This Dorman suspension ball joint, part number 533-266, is designed for front upper suspension locations on 1994-1998 Mitsubishi Galant, 1995-1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse, 1995-2000 Dodge Avenger, 1995-2000 Chrysler Sebring, and 1998-2000 Chrysler Cirrus. It uses a press-in mounting type with a threaded body and tapered stud, making it a direct-fit suspension service part for vehicles that require a non-adjustable front upper ball joint.
