Description
The Axiom Supply Heavy-Duty Press-In Upper Ball Joint was developed specifically for the new-generation Ford Bronco and Ranger platform with one goal: build an upper ball joint that outlasts the factory component under real-world abuse.
Built around a Grade 12.9 Extreme-Duty Ball Stud, this ball joint offers substantially greater strength than conventional OE designs. Combined with a forged steel housing and precision-machined internal components, it is engineered to withstand the added loads generated by larger tires, suspension lifts, aggressive off-road driving, towing, and daily use.
A fully greaseable design allows periodic maintenance to extend service life, while the high-articulation geometry maintains smooth suspension movement throughout the full range of travel. Whether you're exploring remote trails, towing heavy loads, or commuting every day, the Axiom Supply Upper Ball Joint delivers long-lasting durability and precise steering performance you can rely on.
Maintenance
Apply 2–3 pumps of grease during installation.
Service with 1–2 pumps of grease every 5,000–7,000 miles.
Do not over-grease. The dust boot is designed to keep contaminants out, not retain excessive lubricant.
