Wrangler JL (2018 on) and Gladiator JT (2019 on) builds get lifted, re-tyred and driven far, and the factory ball joints are usually the first steering components to give up precision. This kit replaces all four with heavy-duty units - and the lowers are greasable, so the joints carrying the most load can be maintained instead of quietly wearing out. It is a genuine Apex Chassis part, imported to the UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBest For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJL and JT builds running lifts or larger tyres that load factory joints beyond their design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwners noticing early wander or play in a relatively young Jeep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverland and trail rigs that need serviceable parts for long-term use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront-end rebuilds done once, with maintenance built in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eServiceable Where It Counts\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost factory joints are sealed for life - which in off-road use means sealed until the grit gets in. The greasable lower joints let you purge moisture and contamination as part of routine servicing, the same habit that keeps every other greaseable joint on a 4x4 alive. Combined with forged construction, it is the difference between replacing joints and maintaining them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: Apex Chassis (USA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Type: Ball joint kit (front, full vehicle set)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: KIT113\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded Items: 2x BJ160 upper, 2x BJ161 lower (greasable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVehicle Application: Jeep Wrangler JL (2018-2026) 4WD; Jeep Gladiator JT (2019-2026) 4WD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment And Setup Checks\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfirm your Jeep is a JL or JT within the application years before ordering - fitment shown is manufacturer reference.
