Product Description

The Fabtech FTS1599-6-1 Heavy Duty Upper Ball Joint is a performance-oriented suspension component designed to replace worn or damaged upper ball joints in GM 1500 series trucks and SUVs from 1999 through 2006. Built with rugged steel construction and corrosion-resistant coating, this ball joint is engineered to handle the demands of lifted suspensions and off-road driving while maintaining proper steering articulation and control. Its direct-fit design ensures a secure connection with compatible Fabtech upper control arm lift kits, helping restore alignment and extend suspension life.

This upper ball joint includes a grease fitting and dust boot for protection and serviceability, allowing periodic lubrication to keep moving parts operating smoothly. It's ideal for enthusiasts upgrading suspension systems or replacing worn factory parts on older GM trucks and SUVs. Before ordering, confirm compatibility with your specific upper control arm assembly - this part installs into Fabtech lift kit arms and is not a universal replacement for all aftermarket arms. Proper installation and alignment will help ensure optimal handling and tire wear.
