The steel body and rubber dust boot are specified for service in the suspension system where controlled articulation and joint protection are important. The threaded, bolt-in design supports direct replacement of the original component on the listed vehicles, and the tapered stud configuration matches the OE-style connection used in these applications. This part cross-references Mevotech Supreme MK9637 for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Helps Address\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront suspension looseness or play at the lower ball joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClunking or knocking from the front suspension area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUneven tire wear related to worn suspension joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteering response issues caused by excessive joint movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement needs on Pontiac LeMans and Pontiac Optima front lower suspension service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify vehicle fitment by year, make, model, and front lower position before installation. The threaded, bolt-in design uses a 12 mm wrench size and a tapered stud; confirm the mating suspension components match the original configuration. Because no grease fitting is included, this is a sealed-style replacement. Inspect surrounding control arm and steering components during service to ensure the repair addresses the full source of suspension wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDorman states this ball joint is precision-engineered and rigorously tested to provide a reliable replacement for the original equipment part on the listed vehicles.
