If your 2018–2025 Jeep Wrangler JL or Gladiator JT sees real trail time, the lower ball joints are the unsung heroes holding it all together and the stock ones just don’t cut it. Apex Chassis engineered their Super HD Lower Ball Joint to eliminate steering play, handle oversized tires, and stand up to the toughest off-road abuse without premature wear.

Built from forged SAE 1045 steel and featuring a heat-treated 4140 Chromoly ball stud, these joints deliver extreme strength and long-term reliability under high loads and constant movement. Apex’s precision bearing and sealing system ensure smooth operation with minimal friction and unbeatable contamination resistance.

Like the uppers, they’re available in both standard and knurled versions:

  • The standard version provides a perfect factory-style press fit for OEM knuckles.

  • The knurled version offers a slightly tighter fit for knuckles that have seen multiple replacements or have been machined oversized.

Whether you’re daily driving or tackling rock gardens, Apex Chassis lower ball joints restore the solid steering feel you expect from your Jeep — and the durability to keep it that way.

HOUSING

  • SAE 1045 Solid Steel Forged Housing: This is unequivocally the best carbon alloy steel for this application.
  • CNC Machined Housing: Make our parts and bearings dimensionally perfect, eliminating any die wear issues.

BALL STUDS

  • SAE 4140 hot forged Chromoly Ball Studs: For the strongest possible metallurgy.
  • Induction Heat Treated Ball Studs: Provides a very precise heat treatment to the exact depth and location we want it.
  • Polished Ball Studs: Are built like an anti-friction bearing with extremely precise tolerances.
  • Rolled Threads: Are made by pressing the shape of the threads into the ball stud instead of cutting. This strengthens the threads instead of weakening them and allows for easy movement of hardware. This ain't no Ikea furniture!
  • Step Threads: allows for very easy movement of hardware on install and superior holding when torqued (installer choice).

BEARING DESIGN

  • Bronze Bearing design: Our newest improvement in bearing design. Combines our perfectly polished ball studs, encased in a solid steel forged housing, lined with a highly durable, low friction bronze bearing.

BOOTS

  • CR Rubber Boots: The most durable material for undercar applications. Resistant to deterioration from road level ozone, oil/gas/engine fluids and extreme heat or cold.
  • Internal Seal Boot: The boot is coined onto the ball joint, for superior sealing against contaminants.

HARDWARE

  • Grade 8 - Class 10.9 Hardware: Superior tensile strength.
  • Castle Nut: Industry standard where high vibration loads occur.

LUBRICATION

  • Pre threaded Zerk Housing: If you have ever installed a MOOG Ball Joint without a pre-threaded zerk fitting you will understand what a simple but great feature this is. Another installer fav.
  • Greaseable: Because it should be.
  • Pre-Greased: Just in case you forget, we have you covered.
  • Gull Winged Grease Grooves: Allows for improved lubrication disbursement around the ball stud.
  • Zerk Fittings: Included for every application.

Horrible, don't buy
Size: 1.8in for Puppy Dogs
I wanted to love these. They had so much potential. It's a good size. It seems like a good shape. But ... 1) first red flag should have been the packaging. It looked like it was a dollar store item that had beenblost on the shelves for years. 2) the rubber is super flexible. I was expecting it to be sturdier. I can flatten the ball without lich force. Maybe that doesn't matter. Naybe flexible is good. But I never got a chance to test out it's durability against a pup because... 3) it smelled. I expected it to smell like rubber, like most rubber toys. Rubber smell is okay. Usually rubber smell goes away. But, this was NOT a rubber smell. It smells like peppermint or something similar. It's like someone sprayed essential oils when mixing the rubber and now the smell will not leave. I soaked it in dawn soap half the day and overnight. I rubbed. I scrubbed. The smell actually gets worst the more you scrub it!!! It's like a scented marker or scented eraser, but you do NOT want the scent in a dog toy! My dog cannot smell the food in it because the smell of the weird mint-like scent is so overpowering. He saw it had food, and wanted it, but every time he started sniffing wildly, he would recoil. Whoever thought it was a good idea to scent this was WRONG. Mint in the form of an essential oil is extremely poisonous to dogs!! So, why they would put a mint-loke scent ijto the dog's rubber treat toy is beyond me. I would return this if I hadn't throw out the package immediately. I considered pulling the package out of the trash once i realized the scent issue but other trash had already been dumped into the trash can over it and i didn't want to dig through trash. The ball is still soaking in soap. I scrubbed again this morning. I let obe dry out. No luck. It actually seems to get worst the more you scrub, like it really is embedded in the rubber itself. Yuck!!!

Excellent, unless your pup is a dedicated destructo-dog!
Color: Yellow and Orange
I purchased this twice for a young puppy. She loves these slippers, and they are quite resistent to her piranha teeth. The same can't be said for my adult Golden Retriever, who destroys almost every toy; it's one of his missions in life. A slipper accidently found its way to him, and he shredded it within about 45 minutes. I have to say that I'm surprised it lasted that long, attesting to its relative durability. Overall, I recommend these for most dogs.

Dangerous.
Color: Purple
Died in about 2 days. Dogs chewed it to bits and then tried to swallow the pieces. Would not recommend for pet safety. I don't have big dogs, I have littler puppies (3 and 5 months) - would likely have died instantly with big chewers.

Disappointed they didn’t hold up long before pieces was being chewed off.
Color: Yellow and Purple
My minature poodle loved them till she started chewing pieces off of them so we had to dispose of them.
