Built for trucks that work hard, this Dorman ball joint (part number B80028RD) is a front upper joint from Dorman's RD rugged-duty chassis line, engineered for severe-duty service such as off-road work, heavy hauling and towing. It is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1999-2009 Ford F-250, the 1999-2009 Ford F-350 and the 1999-2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.

The RD line also serves emergency vehicles such as ambulances and off-road rescue trucks. When downtime is not an option, this Dorman suspension ball joint is designed to replace a failed original joint.

• Upgraded direct replacement: designed to fit like the OE design on the specified severe-duty applications, and engineered for improved durability.
• Coated steel housing and hardware: the housing is made of quenched and tempered steel and finished with an exclusive protective coating for durability and corrosion resistance. The necessary hardware is included and also has a corrosion-resistant coating.
• Pre-greased where applicable: where applicable, joints come pre-loaded with premium grease in specially designed grease boots with molded-in standoffs. This streamlines installation and helps keep the lubrication in place.

A ball joint is the pivot point that lets the steering knuckle turn and move with the suspension. Signs it may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear and excess play in the joint.
