Keep your Jeep's steering tight and your front suspension planted with the Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Ball Joint (BJ96125RD), a severe-duty front lower ball joint. This Jeep Wrangler ball joint drops in as a direct replacement for the 1984-2001 Jeep Cherokee, 1986-1992 Jeep Comanche, 1993-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 1993 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, 1997-2006 Jeep TJ, 1984-1989 Jeep Wagoneer, and Jeep Wrangler (1987-1995 and 1997-2006). See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
It's part of Dorman's RD ("rugged duty") chassis line, built for the grind: off-road work, heavy hauling, towing, and demanding commercial or emergency-vehicle service.
- Rugged-duty construction: the housing is made of quenched and tempered steel rather than simple normalized steel and finished with an exclusive protective coating for added durability and corrosion resistance.
- Hardware included: necessary mounting hardware ships in the box and carries a corrosion-resistant coating of its own.
- Pre-loaded with grease: where applicable, each joint is pre-loaded with premium grease in a specially designed grease boot with molded-in standoffs to help keep lubrication where it belongs.
- Engineered to fit and last: designed to match the OE design in the listed severe-duty applications and engineered for improved durability, backed by Dorman's US-based chassis engineering team.
A front lower ball joint connects the lower control arm to the steering knuckle, letting the wheel steer while the suspension moves. If a worn ball joint is the cause of clunking, loose steering, or uneven tire wear, this replaces it; ball joints work in pairs, so replacing both sides is good practice.
