Are you asking for the price of the ball joint, or the whole axle?

hub to hub, ready to go minus maybe brakes, I have seen them SELL anywhere from $250 to $750.

of course sometimes people think west coast prices apply in new england, but those never sell.

Anywhere from 500 to 900 in the south depending on gears and condition. Keep in mind if you want to swap on in to a jeep you'll either have to run coilovers or build up the spring pads even with the chunk due to the very narrow driver side tube.

Like said above they go for average probably 500-600$
With that being said they are out there for less. I paid 300$ for mine out of a 95 plow truck. Have to wait them out but they pop up.

Being its a ball joint 150 bucks,When ford changed it to a ball joint they messed with the steering arms so running big wide tires cut back the turning radius.Most ford guys ditch them for the older king pin dana 60s.

blasphemy, i know plenty of people who run them without issue.


the reason they are cheaper is because there are more of them, the drivers side axle tube is smaller, making for less room to mount a coil perch, and ball joints are generally regarded as weaker. But its still a one ton ball joint, it sure as hell is plenty strong.
