Spicer 706944X Suspension Ball Joint Kit

06 TJ fit and feel good driving

Spicer ball joints have always worked well for me on my Jeeps and these are no exception. Good quality and fitment at a reasonable price.

Dana-Spicer is the OEM manufacturer of these heavy duty ball joints they are exact fit.

Parts fit well and came with everything pictured. As another reviewer noted, many, if not most, Jeeps have no need for the brass nut that is included. It's obvious once you get to removing the old ones. Another reviewer also mentioned that there was a gap between the knuckle and the bottom of the upper ball joint. At first I thought the same thing, but soon realized that Spicer may have been allowing for expansion when the ball joint is greased. Once I shot it with the grease gun, everything looked right. It seems possible that they are shipped dry(?), so I'd suggest making sure they are greased them before putting them into service. If they are shipped dry (possible for purposes of potential leakage and box destruction) there should be a warning about the necessity of greasing. If they are not...well...never mind. Obviously, these are not intended to be marketed to the newbie shade-tree mechanic, otherwise they'd include a little important information. BTW, I used the OTC #7249 clamp/press with the special Jeep/Dodge adapter set, #7894, and it worked like a charm. It's not that hard of a job when you have the right tool. If you're going to skimp on the tool, you should pay a mechanic to do it, IMHO.

Not much to dislike. They are oem ball joints and fit my 06 rubicon dana 44 like a glove. Some reviewers said they were a loose fit, but press parts dont stay the same size forever. If your jeep has had multiple ball joints done, or aftermarkets installed with the ribbed grooves, then your holes may be oversize. My jeep has 114K miles and i know the original ball joints were still there since i bought it with 30K on the clock. If you know yours still has the originals, i wouldnt be concerned about these not fitting. I ended up hitting them, the knuckles, and all other components with some rustoleum spray paint to add a little bit of rust protection. Also, nows the time to do those front U-joints!

These are not oversized ;like aftermarket balljoints. They are the original part. Unless you're changing out the originals ,there is no way they are going to fit in tightly like they should. If you're looking for balljoints that aren't completely shot after 3 months, stay away from Duralast and AC Delco. Their XJ balljoints are garbage! Also if you have Death Wobble, it's most likely the lower ball joints and they don't show play when wiggled ,because they are the Load Bearing balljoint and can't be unloaded because of the design. Cheers!

Excellent purchase and still running strong on my 99 xj.

OEM and perfect fit for 97 XJ. Really tightened up front end and Jeep rides nice now. Read a few reviews saying the upper ball joints were machined too small for steering knuckle, but assuming they were attempting to install from bottom up vs correctly from top down? These pressed in nicely for my application and would highly recommend for 97 XJ

El repuesto quedó perfecto en mi Jeep Wrangler Sport TJ 1997 (4.0L manual).

So far so good seem to be holding up
