Uppper Ball Joint Prec + .500 Sever Duty

The HOWE Uppper Ball Joint Prec + .500 Sever Duty (model 22320XV) is a precision-engineered upper ball joint designed for high-performance suspension systems and severe-duty applications. This screw-in style ball joint is engineered for builders and mechanics tackling competition vehicles, lifted trucks, and custom suspension setups where stock components fall short. Built with a greasable design, it allows for extended service life and routine maintenance in demanding environments where suspension articulation and durability are non-negotiable.

This precision ball joint features a 1.500-inch-per-foot tapered stud with a 3.84-inch stud length, providing robust load-carrying capacity and precise geometry control for custom suspension tuning. The 0.5-inch extended length design accommodates specialized suspension geometries, while the 1.437-inch body diameter at the thread ensures secure fastening and reliable performance under cyclic stress. The screw-in mounting method delivers repeatable accuracy for alignment-critical installations, and hardware inclusion means you're ready to install without sourcing additional fasteners. HOWE's severe-duty construction employs hardened steel components and precision tolerances to withstand sustained lateral loads and constant articulation in off-road, drag racing, and circle-track environments.

Mechanics and suspension builders favor this ball joint for chassis projects requiring controlled geometry and durability under extreme conditions. It's ideal for fabricated A-arm assemblies, coilover conversions, and competition vehicles where suspension refresh and wear elimination are critical. Weighing 1.43 pounds with compact dimensions (2.55 x 2.25 x 6.5 inches), it integrates seamlessly into custom frames and tight engine bays. Proper installation requires accurate boring or threading to match your control arm design, and checking camber and caster alignment after fitment ensures optimal tire wear and handling response.
