Ball Joints....Rare

[Pthorpe84]

So I have been looking for new ball joint options and we have all seen the usual suspects out there. But my good friend at Fusion 4X4 told me about Rare Parts. What is interesting about them is that they take 20% load off of the lowers. Doing this will give the ball joints a longer life. Which is great because these things are a pain to change. The uppers are even installed differently than traditional ball joints. Because they assist in taking the load off of the lowers, they are installed from the bottom of the upper C. They are greasable and can be accessed with out taking the axle shafts out. These things are super impressive from a data perspective and look beefy. Can't wait to get my hands on them.

They look nice! We changed ball joints on an XJ recently and had a ball joint press. It was so simple compared to beating them out!!!

I can only imagine. No way I would do this job with out a press. What joints did you put in?

They look really nice. Definitely something to think about when my ball joints need replacing.

They look similar to the skyjacker rock ready ball joints.
