Detailed Description

Mevotech Original Grade GS90512 is engineered as a direct replacement suspension ball joint for routine drivers who need OE-level handling and ride quality restored. This front upper ball joint is designed for 2006-2011 Hyundai Azera, 2006-2010 Hyundai Sonata, and 2007-2009 Kia Amanti applications. The press-in design and threaded stud help match factory suspension geometry, while the included rubber dust boot protects the joint from road contamination. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products (e.g., K500036) for the same application. GS90512 is a practical choice when servicing a Hyundai Sonata front upper ball joint, a Hyundai Azera front upper ball joint, or a Kia Amanti front upper ball joint.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Front-end looseness or play from a worn upper ball joint
• Clunking or popping noises from the suspension
• Uneven steering feel or reduced road control
• Irregular tire wear related to suspension wear
• Restoring factory-style ride and handling response

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With 2006-2011 Hyundai Azera, front upper; 2006-2010 Hyundai Sonata, front upper; and 2007-2009 Kia Amanti, front upper. Because this is a press-in ball joint, proper removal and installation tools are recommended for service. Inspect the surrounding control arm, fasteners, and steering components before installation, and replace worn related parts as needed to complete the repair correctly.
