Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Ball Joint P/N:B80028RD
Built for trucks and SUVs that work for a living, this Dorman ball joint, part number BJ92155RD, comes from the RD "rugged duty" line and serves as the front lower pivot between the lower control arm and the steering knuckle. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1995-2005 Chevrolet Blazer, 1995-2005 GMC Jimmy and 1984-2004 Chevrolet S10. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Dorman engineered its RD chassis parts specifically for severe-duty service. That covers off-road work, heavy hauling, towing and other tough commercial use where a vehicle has to be ready for duty.
The RD line is backed by Dorman's United States team of chassis product engineering and manufacturing experts and by more than a century of automotive experience. If a worn front lower ball joint is the cause of clunking, loose steering or uneven tire wear on your vehicle, this part replaces it.
