Featured in Diesel World Magazine — Kryptonite ball joints were independently reviewed and recognized for their strength, articulation, and durability in real-world diesel truck applications. Read the article here: Duramax Front-End Rebuild: Upgrading to Kryptonite Ball Joints and UCAs
Description:
The Kryptonite KR6292 Bolt-In Upper Ball Joint represents the latest evolution of Kryptonite’s ball joint design. Improving not only on factory components, but even on previous Kryptonite generations. Every aspect of this joint was engineered to survive the demands of lifted trucks, oversized tires, aggressive alignment settings, and real-world abuse.
A massive chromoly stud, powdered-metal races, and a metal-on-metal internal design work together to deliver unmatched strength and articulation. The coil-spring compression system maintains consistent preload throughout suspension travel, reducing looseness and extending service life even under extreme conditions.
Finished with a corrosion-resistant gold zinc cap and protected by a thick rubber boot, the KR6292 is built for longevity, performance, and reliability. Whether you’re daily driving, towing, or pushing your truck off-road, this is a true heavy-duty upgrade over stock and aftermarket alternatives.
All Kryptonite ball joints come pre-greased with Chevron Ultra EP2 Grease and are ready to install. Recommended service interval is every 5,000–7,000 miles. Use only a small amount of grease (about 4-6 pumps) do not over-grease. Think of grease like blood in your body: without it, nothing survives.
Includes:
- 1 × Kryptonite Bolt-In Upper Ball Joint (KR6292)
