Spicer Front Upper & Lower Ball Joint Master Kit for 1977-1993 Dodge W100, W150 & Ramcharger (Dana 44, Both Sides)

Eliminate loose steering play, correct front-end alignment drift, and restore original factory handling to your classic truck or SUV with this genuine Spicer Front Upper & Lower Ball Joint Master Kit. Specifically engineered as a high-durability, direct original equipment replacement for 1977–1993 Dodge 4x4 vehicles, this package contains all the primary heavy-duty structural components required to fully rebuild both the driver and passenger side steering knuckles on vehicles running open-knuckle Dana 44 solid front axles.

On classic Dodge Ram and early W-Series platforms, the front steering knuckles pivot on a rugged dual ball joint design to translate your steering inputs while supporting the full structural weight of the vehicle’s front end. Over decades of demanding farm work, commercial hauling, or off-road trail riding with oversized mud tires, the internal seats of these factory ball joints naturally wear out, dry up, or experience water and trail grit entry. Worn ball joints introduce dangerous play into the front axle knuckles, causing your steering wheel to feel loose, non-responsive, or wander across the lane. Left unaddressed, severe ball joint wear alters front wheel alignment, strains your steering gear box linkages, and risks structural component separation on the road or trail.

This original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement master bundle features heavy-duty ball joints forged from premium-grade steel, heat-treated for maximum fatigue resistance, 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 original factory performance and demanding utility duty, these premium replacement units are engineered with a grease-service architecture, allowing you to flush away moisture, road salt, and trail contaminants during routine maintenance.
