Dorman B80026RD Suspension Ball Joint - Front Upper
Dorman RD Front Upper Ball Joint
Dorman RD B80026RD is a threaded front upper suspension ball joint built for severe-duty service. It is engineered for Ford and Dodge trucks and SUVs that see towing, hauling, off-road use, and other demanding conditions, including Ford F-250 Super Duty, Ford F-350 Super Duty, and Dodge Ram 2500 applications.
The RD, or Rugged Duty, line is Dorman’s heavy-service chassis range. For this application, the ball joint housing uses quenched and tempered steel with a protective coating for added corrosion resistance, and the dust boot is made from polychloroprene to help retain grease and protect the joint in harsh environments. Dorman B80026RD is also greaseable and includes a tapered stud design for secure suspension service.
