RockJock Uni-Balls for 3-Link Suspension and Aftermarket Front Differentials (84-01 Jeep Cherokee XJ)Find parts that fit my vehicle

RockJock Uni-Balls for Front Axle Housings are used in 3-link suspension applications, where the passenger’s side upper control arm has been eliminated and all of the suspension load is now being applied to the one axle housing mounting location. Our Uni-Balls press into the stock bushing holes on the casting side (driver’s side ONLY) of the front differential housing and provide a durable solution that incorporates a 5/8 in. thru-bolt hole for heavier hardware.
This Uni-Ball will press into a stock JK or a stock TJ/LJ/XJ/MJ/ZJ housing, as well as aftermarket replacement differentials from companies such as Dana (UD-60s), Dynatrac, East Coast Gear, Fusion 4x4 and Currie Enterprises (cast center housings ONLY, does not apply to 9 in. / fabricated style differentials).
Additionally, most aftermarket 60s that are intended for installation in a JL/JT vehicle, still retain the bushing specs. of a JK bushing, making this the applicable Uni-Ball to install in your aftermarket JL/JT differential as well (again, cast center only, not 9 in. style) going into a JL/JT. (for STOCK JL/JT housings, see our RJ-301002-101 Uni-Ball).
The mounting width of the center pivoting assembly is 2 in., to allow it to fit into the fork on JL/JT/JK/TJ/LJ/XJ/MJ/XJ front upper control arm, however, the 5/8 in. thru-bolt hole will require drilling of the bolt hole in the control arm fork.
Uni-Balls feature a sealed bearing assembly, so no greasing is required. Finish is clear zinc plating.
