Navara Upper Balljoint to suit Various Nissans 2005-Onwards
Please note: This ball joint features a 14.8mm taper cone diameter with a 1:6 pitch, engineered specifically for press-in fitment on D40 and D23 (NP300) Navara models. It is NOT compatible with older D22 Navara models, which utilize a bolt-on upper ball joint layout. Ball joints are safety-critical suspension items and should always be replaced as a left-and-right pair to ensure balanced steering tracking and alignment geometry. A hydraulic shop press or specialized C-frame press tool is required for proper installation; hammering the joint casing into the control arm will deform the internal nylon socket and cause premature failure.
Genuine 555 Sankei Premium Front Upper Ball Joint. Restore precise steering response and eliminate dangerous front-end suspension play with this Japanese-manufactured replacement joint. The SB-N281 is precision-machined from high-tensile forged steel and heat-treated to maximize resistance against severe trail shock loads and heavy-duty towing stress. Unlike inferior aftermarket replicas that degrade rapidly under rough road conditions, 555 Sankei components feature mirror-polished ball studs seated within specialized synthetic grease sockets to lower friction, reduce operating heat, and extend service life. Designed to press directly into your factory upper control arm, this unit provides a pristine 14.8mm tapered cone fitment to eliminate clunking noises, steering wander, and uneven tire wear. Choosing authentic 555 Sankei components guarantees legendary Japanese quality and durability for your Navara or Pathfinder.
