Omix-ADA® 18037.02 - Upper Ball Joint

As its name implies, a ball joint is comprised of a ball fitted inside a machined socket. A tapered stud attached to the ball fits into a tapered hole in the steering knuckle and is then secured with a nut. Unfortunately, most ball joints from the factory are so called "lubed for life" and do not have a means of applying additional lubrication. On such joints the grease degrades with subsequent wear to the ball and socket, and if the dust boot becomes torn this process is accelerated when dirt and other contaminants are introduced into the joint.

New ball joints from Omix-ADA will make your suspension right again, and they're greasable, so you can make lubricating your suspension part of your regular maintenance again. Except for being greasable, these joints are the same as OEM in every respect, so they'll install and function like original equipment. Omix-ADA is so confident in the quality of these ball joints that they're backed by a 5-year limited warranty.
