Spicer Front Steering Knuckle Ball Joint Kit for 1971 International Scout II & 800B (Dana 30 / Dana 44, Both Sides)

Eliminate erratic steering wander, correct uneven tire wear, and restore original handling to your classic vintage rig with this genuine Spicer Front Steering Knuckle Ball Joint Kit. Specially engineered for the critical 1971 International Harvester (IH) Scout transitional year (including late-model Scout 800B and early Scout II platforms), 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 30 or 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.
