Detailed Description

Mevotech GK7115 is engineered for drivers maintaining Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth front suspension systems from the early 1980s. It is a direct-fit suspension ball joint for the front lower position on applications such as 1983 Dodge 600, 1983 Dodge Charger, 1982-1983 Dodge Rampage, 1981-1983 Plymouth Reliant, and 1983 Plymouth Turismo. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products K7115 and Dorman - Premium B7115PR for the same application.

As an OE-matched replacement, GK7115 is intended to restore original steering feel, handling consistency, and ride quality when the factory ball joint is worn or loose. The press-in design follows the original mounting style used on these vehicles.
