OTC(7894) Jeep/Dodge Ball Joint Service Adapter

Bought this for doing upper and lower ball joints on a 2000 Wrangler TJand it made the job very easy. I rented the press from Auto Zone to use these with. This set also made installing new front axle u-joints a breeze compared to the old method (you know the one).

This kit makes changing your Jeeps ball joints a breeze. I used this adapter kit along with the OTC press, and it worked perfectly. I've used this on many joints, including my Jeep YJ and TJ, and my son's 89' Cherokee. IDK if it's JK or JU compatible.This kit is crazy expensive for what you get, but if your labor time is money, it's worth it.It comes with a single paper sheet instructions, and the kit's parts are etched with part numbers to make using the correct adapter quick and simple.And the adapters all fit into the OTC press's carrying case. Which is a nice touch.

After a lot of thought I purchased this item. I have watched several people change ball joints with a regular set of ball joint separator cups and they manage to get them pressed in straight but, with a lot of improvisation and self risk.I have never changed a ball joint before and I didn't want any trouble. This set of cups was perfect. I pressed out the old and pressed in the new on both driver and passenger side in a little over an hour.Well worth the money and they are good quality.If you have aftermarket ball joints they are about half an inch to long for the cup. OEM ball joints are not to long for the cup.

I used it to service a 98 Jeep Cherokee XJ with OTC 7249 Ball Joint, U-Joint and Brake Anchor Pin Service Kit and it worked pretty well.The parts are made in China but are of good quality and look like being made of hardened steel.The two cups for removing the ball joint are perfect.The two for the installation not so much but still okay. The angle of the lowest one isn’t perfect for that Dana 30 axle but close enough for not having any problem because of that during installation. The inner diameter of the longest cup is about one mm too large for my taste. There’s too much play with the new original Spicer ball joints I used and the cup, on one side, comes at the edge of the knuckle of the ball joint. Because the angle of the other cup isn’t perfect, it is difficult to center this one around the ball joint. Anyway and thanks the good quality steel, everything run fine.

A lot easier than pounding them out with a hammer and cutting torch. Recommended for any tj owner that does their own ball joints

These adapters made the job easy. They work great with the new spicer ball joints I got. The removal cup included was not large enough to go around my factory upper ball joint, though, during removal. Fortunately, there was a piece included with the ball joint press that worked for this. I used this set with a non- otc press rented from oreilly. No issues with it working with that press.The cups do work perfect with the spicer ball joints for my jeep tj.This it is a must, for installation. Not too necessary for removal but does help greatly.

I have an 07 Jeep Wrangler which is one of the vehicles that this kit is for. Trouble is that the part with the notch cut out (the largest piece) isn't deep enough for use with a stock ball joint as their own instructions describe. Plus it is made out of material that is too thin-walled so the inside diameter is too wide. This allows it to slip off the ball joint lip as it is being pressed into place.When I buy a special tool that is designed for use with my vehicle, I would expect it to work. Got to wonder if they ever actually tried it before they said it fits.EDIT: I have been informed that this kit is not designed for the JK Wrangler (mine is a Rubicon but the BJs should be the same as Sport and X models) and Amazon's description is/was at fault. I don't know for sure how to both inform others of this and review a product that I've never been able to use in accordance with its design. OTC is an excellent company, and based upon other reviews, I suspect that this kit is likewise great. So I'm speculating by upgrading my 2 star review to a 5 star one. But JK owners beware...this kit doesn't work well on your Jeeps regardless of what Amazon's description says.

If you have the OTC ball joint installation and removal tool kit and you plan to replace ball joints on a Wrangler (in our case 05 Rubicon) these are a must have! They fit perfectly and made the job easy! We removed the “original” ball joints and installed new ones in an hour! Both upper and lower! Well worth the money, just do it, glad I did. I’ve done my other Jeep ball joints without these in the past......not good......

These were fantastic & mated perfectly to the kit. Just make sure to use the adapters correctly. I tried to use the notched one flipped 180 degrees and took a little metal off it but it still works like a champ! I'm very happy with the product

Worked a treat to do the ball joints on my dana 30 2013 JK Wrangler.Be careful installing the new upper joint with the tapered spacer, it likes to slide out of position on the C due to the curvature, causing a gouge on one of my teraflex upper ball joint tapers. Fixed with a file, but something worth avoiding.Make sure it stays centered

This kit work prety good on Jeep JK. You also need to have the OTC 7249 as you need some universal cups.The #313970 cup does provide the proper angle for the upper JK ball joint. I no longer need to add washers to get the proper angle.

Without this kit my standard ball press kit was making it very difficult to break the ball joint loose. Once I got these adapters I had the ball joint off in seconds. I highly recommend if you have a XJ or TJ (most likely works on other but haven't personally tested)

Make simple work out of upper and lower ball joint replacement on the Jk/JKU.
