Over high mileage, decades of service, or the added stress of running larger oversized off-road tires, the internal seats within budget ball joints deform, stretch, or collapse. Failing ball joints introduce dangerous lateral slop into the wheel assembly, presenting themselves through an unpredictable \"wandering\" steering feel, uneven front tire tread wear, loud clunking sounds when driving over rough terrain, or severe steering wheel vibration at highway speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eThis original equipment manufacturer (OEM) master kit includes two premium upper ball joints and two heavy-duty lower ball joints to fully service both the driver and passenger sides of your front end. Sourcing genuine Spicer components guarantees exact matching factory tapers, heavy-duty forged steel housings, and advanced internal grease management properties engineered to handle the high-leverage forces common to classic utility and lifted truck configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eKit Contents (Services Both Driver \u0026amp; Passenger Wheel Knuckles):\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\"\u003e(2) Premium Front Upper Ball Joint Assemblies\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\"\u003e(2) Heavy-Duty Front Lower Ball Joint Assemblies\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,2,0\"\u003e(1) Complete Installation Hardware Pack (Cotter Pins, Castle Nuts, Snap Rings, \u0026amp; Grease Zerk Fittings)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eKit Highlights:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eComplete Four-Piece Master Set:\u003c\/b\u003e Supplies both the upper and lower ball joints necessary to fully overhaul the left and right steering knuckles simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eGenuine Spicer OEM Quality:\u003c\/b\u003e Manufactured by the industry's premier axle supplier to guarantee strict factory tolerances, robust metal tempering, and exact structural compliance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eRestores Steering Integrity:\u003c\/b\u003e Eliminates irregular movement at the steering knuckle, restoring predictable tracking and reducing invasive front-end vibration feedback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eGreaseable Service Design:\u003c\/b\u003e Features integrated grease channels and zerk fittings, allowing for routine maintenance lubrication to flush out trail contaminants and ensure a long service life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"14\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eVehicle \u0026amp; Axle Fitment:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAxle Profiles:\u003c\/b\u003e Open-Knuckle Solid\/Monobeam Front Axles: \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"56\"\u003eDana 44 and GM 8.5\" 10-Bolt\u003c\/b\u003e assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eChevy \/ GMC Trucks \u0026amp; SUVs:\u003c\/b\u003e 1973–1987 Chevy\/GMC K10, K20, K1500, K2500 pickups, and 1973–1991 K5 Blazer \/ Suburban 4x4 models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePosition:\u003c\/b\u003e Front Steering Knuckle Pivots (Fits Upper \u0026amp; Lower, Left \u0026amp; Right Sides)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Spicer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43562450747466,"sku":"PLAT-SPICER-KIT200","price":194.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/5560\/6858\/files\/10_6eeab066-25ee-4014-acd5-5066aec57ab7.jpg?v=1777723168","url":"https:\/\/platinumperformanceparts.com\/products\/ball-joint-kit-chevy-gm-dana-44-10-bolt-front-axle","provider":"Platinum Performance Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
