Spicer Front Steering Knuckle Ball Joint Kit for 1971-1978 International Scout II & Traveler (Dana 44, Both Sides)

Eliminate erratic steering wander, tighten up loose front-end play, and restore original handling to your classic rig with this genuine Spicer Front Steering Knuckle Ball Joint Kit. Specially engineered for classic International Harvester (IH) platforms from 1971–1978—including the Scout II, Traveler, and Terra—this premium master chassis package includes all the heavy-duty upper and lower ball joints required to completely rebuild both the driver and passenger sides of your factory open-knuckle Dana 44 front axle.

On vintage 4WD vehicles, worn ball joints are a primary cause of wandering steering, tire cupping, and harsh front-end clunking over rough terrain or trail obstacles. Decades of service combined with larger off-road tires accelerate wear on the internal seats, causing the joints to dry out and develop dangerous mechanical play. This genuine Spicer OEM service bundle updates your steering geometry with professional-grade forgings designed to handle high torsional loads. Each component features exact dimensional indexing to guarantee a reliable, high-pressure press-fit into your factory axle yokes and steering knuckles.

Kit Highlights:

• Complete Axle Overhaul Bundle: Contains 2 upper ball joints, 2 lower ball joints, premium cotter pins, castle nuts, snap rings, and specialized hardware required to service both front steering knuckles simultaneously.

• Genuine Spicer OEM Quality: Manufactured by the original equipment supplier to meet strict structural and material tolerances, providing far greater longevity than generic aftermarket alternatives.

• Heavy-Duty Forged Steel Construction: Heat-treated internal ball studs and premium housings prevent deflection and resist stretching under intense off-road trail conditions.

• Greaseable Service Design: Equipped with integrated lubrication channels to easily purge moisture, mud, and trail grit during routine maintenance intervals.
