Detailed Description

Mevotech GS86526 is engineered to restore OE performance on the front suspension where a worn ball joint can affect steering response, ride quality, and tire wear. Its exact-match design supports factory-style fitment on Lexus LS500 and LS500h front right lower positions, plus front lower applications on the Lexus LX470 and Toyota Land Cruiser.

What It Helps Fix

• Steering wander or reduced directional stability
• Loss of original ride and handling feel

Installation Notes and Tips

This is a press-in ball joint, so proper removal and installation tools are recommended for service. Verify the stud thread size, wrench size, and position before installation, and confirm the correct application for Lexus LS500, Lexus LS500h, Lexus LX470, or Toyota Land Cruiser using the vehicle’s front suspension configuration. The pre-greased design and included boot, nut, cotter pin, and mounting hardware where required help streamline the repair process.
