J.C. Whitney REPF282316 Front Upper Ball Joint OEM Replacement RWD

The J.C. Whitney REPF282316 is a front upper ball joint designed as a direct OEM replacement for rear-wheel drive (RWD) Ford F-Series pickup trucks from model years 1987 through 1997. This single ball joint fits both the driver and passenger sides (RH=LH), simplifying ordering and inventory.

Ball joints are a critical suspension component connecting the control arm to the steering knuckle, allowing for smooth wheel articulation and precise steering response. Replacing worn or damaged upper ball joints restores proper steering geometry, reduces tire wear, and eliminates clunking or looseness in the front suspension.

Key Features:

• Direct OEM replacement — engineered to match original equipment specifications
• Fits both right-hand and left-hand sides (RH=LH) — one part number covers both positions
• Front upper ball joint position
• Designed for rear-wheel drive (RWD) applications
• Restores factory steering geometry and suspension integrity
• Drop-in fitment for straightforward installation

J.C. Whitney has been supplying quality automotive parts since 1915, delivering reliable components designed for precise fit and long-lasting durability. This ball joint is backed by J.C. Whitney's commitment to OEM-grade replacement quality.
