Detailed Description

This Dorman suspension ball joint is built for the front lower suspension on 1990-1993 Toyota Celica models.

A rubber dust boot is included to help protect the joint, and the unit is greaseable for serviceability. This part cross-references Mevotech Supreme MK9649 for the same application.

Common Repair Applications

• Front suspension looseness or play on a Toyota Celica
• Clunking or popping noises from the front lower suspension
• Uneven tire wear related to worn ball joint movement
• Steering instability or wandering at the front end
• Replacement of a worn OE-style front lower ball joint

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle is a 1990-1993 Toyota Celica with the front lower ball joint application before installation. Inspect the control arm, mounting points, and surrounding suspension components for wear or damage. Confirm the tapered stud seats correctly and torque fasteners to the vehicle service specification. Because this is a threaded, bolt-in style part, proper alignment of the mounting holes and stud engagement is important during service.
