Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Ball Joint P/N:B6696RD
Keep the front end of your hardworking Chevy or GMC van planted with the Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Ball Joint (BJ90025RD), a front lower Dorman ball joint from the RD "rugged duty" chassis line built for severe-duty service. It fits many vehicles as a direct-fit replacement, among them the 2003-2024 Chevrolet Express 2500, 2003-2024 Chevrolet Express 3500 and 2009-2024 Chevrolet Express 4500 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full application and engine list.
A front lower ball joint links the lower control arm to the steering knuckle, letting the wheel steer and move through suspension travel while carrying load. Worn ball joints can produce clunking or knocking over bumps, uneven tire wear, and loose or wandering steering. If a failed front lower ball joint is behind those symptoms, this RD unit replaces it. With regular maintenance, RD chassis parts are designed to outlast standard aftermarket components.
