Dynatrac Prosteer Ball Joints
So I called Dynatrac and they will have these ball joints available the middle of the month.
However, they have only tested them on Dana 44 axles.
Will the ball joints also fit a Dana 30?
They said the stud is a little longer than stock, so they are worried that the top ball joint stud will hit the u joint on the Dana 30 but they also said if its the same clearance it should work. They just don't know cause they have no tested them on a 30.
Anyone have any idea on this, how the 44 might differ from the 30 in regards to this?
Also it seems silly if they want to sell these ball joints not to test them on a 30 as Im sure a lot of people who want them have an X or Sahara.

silly? i don't know, i had an opportunity to install a test set on my orange JK and turned it down because i felt that nobody would install a set of $600 ball joints on a dana 30
having said that, i would imagine that these would work and as dynatrac said, the only issue would be one of clearance at the u-joint.

So you are saying they will press in fine but there is a clearance difference between to 30 and 44 at the u-joint?

i don't know, i guess most of the people i know are looking for a reason to upgrade to a dana 44 or 60
yes. the knuckles on the 30 and the 44 are the same and these ball joints will press in just fine. the length of them is the concern but, i would imagine that they would fit and that dynatrac is just being cautious.

I was just hoping they would fit as my ball joints are shot anyway and I do not want to replace with stock.
