Searching for a rugged chevy Tahoe ball joint built to take a beating? The Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Ball Joint B6509RD is a severe-duty front lower unit from Dorman's RD ("rugged duty") chassis line, engineered for trucks that see off-road work, heavy hauling, towing and other grueling conditions. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1996-2000 Chevrolet Tahoe and many other GM trucks and full-size SUVs (full list below).
- Rugged-duty design: built for off-road work, heavy hauling, towing and demanding commercial or emergency-vehicle service where readiness for duty is required.
- Quenched and tempered steel housing: finished with an exclusive protective coating for added durability and corrosion resistance.
- Hardware included: the necessary mounting hardware ships in the box and also carries a corrosion-resistant coating.
- Pre-loaded grease boot: where applicable, each joint is pre-loaded with premium grease in a specially designed boot with molded-in standoffs to help keep lubrication in place.
A worn ball joint can produce clunking or popping over bumps, wandering or loose steering, and uneven front-tire wear; if a failed original front lower ball joint is the cause, this Dorman unit replaces it — diagnose the source of the symptom before replacing. Backed by Dorman's US-based chassis engineering team and more than a century of automotive experience.
