Keep the wheel pivoting smoothly through suspension travel and steering movement with the Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Ball Joint 533-198. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement across a range of GM full-size trucks, SUVs and vans, including the 1999-2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500, 2000-2006 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban 1500, GMC Yukon and Yukon XL 1500, 2002-2006 Cadillac Escalade, and 2003-2014 Chevrolet Express 1500 / GMC Savana 1500 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 20 applications.
A ball joint connects the control arm to the steering knuckle and lets the wheel pivot and travel through suspension movement. Dorman builds this one from steel with a polymer bearing and a polychloroprene dust boot, and its greaseable design lets you add lubrication during service. The tapered stud presses into place, so a ball-joint press tool is typically required for installation. It is non-adjustable, and replacing the failed component instead of a complete assembly can help lower repair cost.
- Direct replacement: engineered to install and perform like the factory part on the listed applications.
- Reliable fit: precision-engineered to match the design and dimensions of the original components.
- Durable construction: built to strict standards from sturdy steel and rubber materials.
- Rigorously tested: thorough quality-control measures support longevity.
Package includes the ball joint and one nut. The listed applications use two per vehicle, and this listing is for a single ball joint — replacing both sides as a matched pair is recommended for even wear and balanced handling.
