One of the most common questions we get is: Should the ball joint mount on top or bottom of the control arm?
In this video, we break down proper ball joint placement, explain why it matters, and show how mounting the ball joint incorrectly can affect suspension geometry, alignment, and long-term component life.
Whether you’re installing new upper control arms or troubleshooting alignment issues, understanding correct ball joint orientation is critical, especially on lifted or heavy-duty trucks.
If you’re upgrading or servicing your suspension, this is the info you need before bolting anything together.
