Built for trucks that tow, haul and work off-road, the Dorman ball joint B6344RD is a front upper pivot from Dorman's RD (rugged duty) line that links the upper control arm to the steering knuckle. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1995-1999 Chevrolet Tahoe, 1995-1997 GMC Yukon and 1996-2002 Chevrolet Express 2500. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Dorman engineers its RD chassis parts for vehicles that must perform in off-road work, heavy hauling, towing and other grueling conditions. That includes emergency vehicles such as ambulances and off-road rescue trucks. The housing of this Dorman suspension ball joint is made of quenched and tempered steel. It is finished with Dorman's exclusive protective coating for added durability and corrosion resistance.
- Upgraded direct replacement: designed to fit like the OE design in the specified severe-duty applications, and engineered for improved durability.
- Hardware included: the necessary installation hardware comes with the joint and also carries a corrosion-resistant coating.
- Pre-greased where applicable: where applicable, the joint is pre-loaded with premium grease inside specially designed grease boots with molded-in standoffs. This helps streamline installation and keep lubrication where it belongs.
- Engineering support: backed by Dorman's chassis product engineering and manufacturing experts in the United States and more than a century of automotive experience.
Signs a front upper ball joint may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. With regular maintenance, B6344RD is a strong choice for replacing a failed original ball joint when vehicle downtime is not an option.
