Description

Overview

The G2 Dana 30/Dana 44 Ball Joint Set, part 69-2045-4, includes two upper and two lower heavy duty ball joints with hardware, covering both sides of a Dana 30 or Dana 44 front end. It fits Jeep TJ, YJ and XJ models.

G2 states these joints are stronger and perform better than factory ball joints. They are precision made and greasable, which is meant to give long life.

Key features

  • Two upper and two lower ball joints
  • Hardware included
  • Covers both sides
  • Fully greasable

Before you buy

Ball joints carry the weight of the front end and act as the pivot points for steering. When they wear, the wheel can move in and out or up and down by a noticeable amount, which affects steering feel and tire wear. Wear usually builds slowly, so a periodic check on jack stands is worth doing before a long trip.

Joints tend to wear on both sides of the axle at similar rates, so many owners replace the opposite side when one side is due. Upper and lower joints should both be inspected, and the tie rod ends and control arm bushings are worth a look at the same time.

  • Grip the tire at top and bottom to feel for play
  • Look for torn or cracked dust boots
  • Plan an alignment after replacement

Questions & Answers

Does the G2 69-2045-4 set fit a Jeep TJ?

Yes. It fits Dana 30 or Dana 44 Jeep TJ models, 1997 to 2006, and the set includes two uppers and two lowers with hardware.

Does it fit a YJ or XJ?

Yes. It also fits the YJ, 1987 to 1995, and the XJ, 1984 to 2001, with the same Dana 30 or Dana 44 front axles.

How many ball joints are in the kit?

Four: two uppers and two lowers, with hardware, covering both sides of a Dana 30 or Dana 44 front end.

Should the joints be greased right after installation?

Yes, if they are greasable. Fill them with fresh grease after installation, following the lubrication routine for your vehicle, and wipe away excess. Check the boots at each service so grit and water stay out of the joint.
