Replacement lower ball joint options. Tried three, all garbage.

Hey all,

A little background on my Grizzly 700. I have 26×9 and 26×11 Interco Reptiles, itp ss212 rims and the lower ball joint doesn’t last!

OEM had the threads strip and the castle nut/pin disconnected. R wh.eel popped off, L wheel partly holding

Quad Boss had the ball joint stud blow from the cap at 60 miles, one trail ride, no mud. This is the kawi bearing, supposedly OEM kawi replacement. Both sides were shot.

Boss Bearing (most recent) now has 3/16" play, up and down from the ball joint stud inside the ball joint cap at 400 miles! No mud again, only trail riding. Only R ball joint at this time.

What ball joint will last? Changing it twice in 6 months is pathetic.

Thanks for the help,

Greg
