Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Ball Joint P/N:BJ86365RD
Tackle worn steering and take back control of your rig with the Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Ball Joint (BJ960005RD), a front lower Jeep Wrangler ball joint from Dorman's RD severe-duty chassis line. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1999-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2007-2017 Jeep Wrangler, and 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK. A front lower ball joint links the lower control arm to the steering knuckle, letting the suspension travel while the wheel pivots to steer; if a failed original joint is behind your clunking, loose steering, or uneven tire wear, this replaces it.
Best practice is to replace ball joints in matched pairs for balanced steering. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your engine and application.
