Spicer Front Upper & Lower Ball Joint Master Kit for 1985-1993.5 Dodge Ram W150, W250 & Ramcharger (Dana 44 with Disconnect, Both Sides)

Eliminate front-end steering play, correct loose tracking or "death wobble" tendencies, and restore original factory handling to your classic truck with this genuine Spicer Front Upper & Lower Ball Joint Master Kit. Specifically engineered as a high-durability, direct original equipment replacement for 1985 to mid-1993 Dodge 4x4 trucks, this package contains all the primary heavy-duty structural components required to fully rebuild both the driver and passenger side steering knuckles on axles equipped with the Dana 44 Vacuum Central Axle Disconnect (CAD) system.

On vintage four-wheel-drive Dodge Ram platforms, the front steering knuckles pivot on a critical dual ball joint design. This layout is responsible for directing all steering inputs while supporting the full structural weight of the vehicle’s front end. Over decades of heavy farm use, highway towing, or off-road trail riding with oversized tires, the internal seats of these factory ball joints naturally wear out, dry up, or experience moisture intrusion. Worn ball joints introduce dangerous play into the front axle knuckles, causing steering wheel wander, loose responsiveness, uneven tire tread wear, or clunking noises. Left unaddressed, severe ball joint wear compromises front wheel alignment, accelerates wear on steering linkages, and can cause potential knuckle separation on the road or trail.

This original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement bundle features heavy-duty ball joints forged from premium-grade steel, heat-treated for maximum fatigue life, and precision-machined to exact factory tolerances. Sourcing a genuine Spicer kit ensures a perfect press-fit into your factory inner C-axle ears, eliminating the risk of loose housings or premature component failure. To match vintage factory specifications, these replacement units are built with an integrated grease-service architecture, allowing you to flush away moisture, road salt, and trail grit during routine maintenance.
