Just bought a set of Spicer ball joints from Serious Offroad for my D30. Was wondering if these ball joints will work for me down the road when I make the WJ knuckle swap or if I will have to use OEM WJ lower ball joints. Thanks in advance!

you will need WJ lower ball joints to install WJ knuckles. The uppers are the same

Does Spicer make WJ lowers? Or will I have to settle on OEM?

Spicer makes everything from heavy truck transmissions to ujoints to balljoints to ring and pinions to driveshafts... they do make WJ balljoints, in fact IIRC the OEM ones are Spicers.

I got a set from alljeep a long time ago... they were spicers and cost me 90 shipped for all 4. I think it's gone up a little but nothing like 110 EACH, jesus.

Yeah if you click on the product info web page it sends you right to the dana web site. http://www.dana.com/wps/wcm/connect/dext/Dana/Home


$110 each is just crazy

i got those wj balljoints about a month or so ago and they are definitely spicer. i got them for $81 shipped for the set of 4. they were actually drop shipped from dana spicer.

what's funny is the xj versions are actually more from them.
