Detailed Description
The B80026XL is engineered for front upper suspension service on vehicles such as the Ford F-250 Super Duty, Ford F-350 Super Duty, Ford Excursion, Ford Bronco, Ford F-150, and Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 applications listed in the fitment data. It is also listed for select Ford F-250, F-250 HD, and F-350 configurations, including Twin I-Beam and heavy-duty setups where specified. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products K80026 for the same application.
Built from steel with a grey finish, this ball joint measures 111 mm in length, 59 mm in width, and 85.03 mm in height, with a 61 mm maximum outside diameter and a 12 mm wrench size. The threaded stud design and press-in mounting style support direct replacement service on the specified front upper suspension positions.
What It Helps Fix
- Front-end looseness or play in the upper suspension joint
- Clunking or popping noises from worn ball joint components
- Uneven tire wear caused by suspension joint wear
- Steering wander or imprecise front suspension response
- Corrosion-related failure in exposed suspension hardware
Installation Notes and Tips
Install only on the listed Ford and Dodge applications and verify the front upper position before service. Because this is a press-in ball joint, proper suspension support and the correct press tools are important for removal and installation. Confirm the castle nut, cotter pin hole, and stud thread engagement during assembly, and inspect the surrounding control arm and hardware for wear before reassembly.
Quality Assurance
Dorman Premium XL parts are built for extended-life suspension service using corrosion-resistant materials and a maintenance-free polymer bearing design. The B80026XL is manufactured as a direct-fit replacement for the confirmed applications and is backed by Dorman’s product engineering standards.
