Yukon Gear & Axle YSPBJ-016HDK2 Ball Joint Kit

If you own a Dodge Ram 2500 or Dodge Ram 3500 from the years 2000-2002, you know how crucial it is to maintain your truck's performance. Upgrading your OE ball joints with the Yukon Gear & Axle YSPBJ-016HDK2 heavy-duty ball joint kit is a smart move for any serious driver. This kit is engineered to deliver superior quality and durability, ensuring your truck handles like a champ on and off the road.

Why Choose Yukon Ball Joints?

Yukon's ball joints are crafted from top-notch materials that make a noticeable difference in performance. The housing is made from CNC-machined forged SAE 1045 carbon alloy steel, providing a robust foundation for longevity. The ball stud, crafted from induction heat-treated, hot-forged 4140 chromoly, offers unrivaled strength. This means you can tackle tough terrains without worrying about your ball joints giving out.

Enhanced Design for Maximum Protection

One of the standout features of the YSPBJ-016HDK2 is its superior sealing capability. The upper joint's rugged metal-to-metal bearing design outperforms the OE joints, while the lower joint incorporates military-grade acetal bearings. These advanced materials provide exceptional anti-friction properties and dimensional stability, ensuring smooth operation even under heavy loads.

To protect against the elements, Yukon employs a two-stage boot design. The outer boot is made from synthetic Neoprene/CR, paired with an inner seal/pancake boot. Together, they shield the spherical joint and bucket from road grime, oil, gas, and extreme temperatures, giving you peace of mind during your drives.

Installation and Compatibility

This kit replaces both the upper and lower front ball joints on each side of your vehicle and includes everything you need for a complete installation: Grade 8 hardware, castle nuts, c-clips, cotter pins, and zerk fittings. The greaseable, pre-threaded zerk housing simplifies lubrication maintenance, making it easy to keep your ball joints in top shape.
