Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Ball Joint P/N:BJ81265RD
Built for vehicles that work hard, the Dorman ball joint BJ91195RD is a front lower suspension ball joint from the RD ("rugged duty") line, engineered for severe-duty service. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2009-2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2009-2013 GMC Sierra 1500 and 2007-2014 Chevrolet Tahoe. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Dorman designed its RD components for vehicles that must perform reliably in off-road work, heavy hauling, towing and other grueling conditions. The line also suits emergency vehicles such as ambulances and off-road rescue trucks. As a lower ball joint, it forms the pivot between the steering knuckle and the lower control arm, so the wheel can steer and move with the suspension.
When vehicle downtime is not an option and the original lower ball joint has failed, this RD joint is a strong replacement choice. Keep up with regular maintenance.
