The arm bone's connected to the shoulder bone.

Just like your ACL joint, ball joints connect the wheels to the steering. So, if you're looking to upgrade your Jeep's® ball joints with some heavy-duty, extra-durable ball joints, this is where you'll find them. If you've blown your ACL...see a doctor.

Our ball joints are custom-fit for the classic Jeep models, like Jeep CJ, Jeep CJ5, Jeep CJ7, Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Cherokee.

Absorbing the road, on road and off.

If you're an off-road addict, or just play one on TV, then high-performance bushings are a must. Heavy-duty polyurethane bushings absorb more shock, resist greater heat and reduce vibration. What does all this mean? You'll have more control while your suspension absorbs more shock. Of course, if you're just a regular guy looking to replace your bushings, we have an outstanding selection of replacement bushings that meet or exceed Jeep's requirements.

They may be called leaf springs, but they don't blow in the wind.

This extra-heavy-duty suspension option helps increase your Jeep's clearance, and they absorb some serious off-road abuse. How? Leaf springs are essentially a bunch of banded pieces of formed metal. So, the metal bends to absorb bumps and you don't have to worry about bottoming out. These engineering marvels are simply a must for any off-road excursion.

Going up?

Want more clearance for bigger wheels? Perhaps you need to cross streams, crawl over rocks and climb up rocks. Or maybe you just want your Jeep to look imposing. Loom over the little imports chugging down the street. Whatever brings you to the exciting world of Jeep suspension lifts — you'll be seeing the road from a whole new perspective. Especially when you're not on it. Jeep lift kits have everything you need to raise your vehicle, so shop here and you're one step closer to being on top of the world.

The real story behind Mr. Pitman.

There are so many tiny replacement parts on the steering system that engineers ran out of snappy names. So, they just started naming them after themselves. Mr. Pitman was an engineering genius that thought there needed to be yet another part on the Jeep that nobody would notice until it broke. He invented a part that connects the tie rod to the center link and named it after himself: the Pitman Arm. He was confident that this nomenclature would assure his place in the history books. Well...he is on our website.

For the misunderstood off-roaders.

Nobody understands your need for dirt, sand and rock like JC Whitney. Your girlfriends don't like the grease on your clothes and the dirt under your nails. And, factory steering gearboxes just aren't made with the right combination of ruggedness and sensitivity. When it comes down to it, that's what you're really looking for. Sensitive steering that's responsive like a shaolin monk, and durable. Because, what you really need as you're tumbling down a mountainside in your Jeep is to be listened to. Especially by your wheels.

Keeping your Jeep afloat.

Shock absorbers are the kingpins of a Jeep's suspension system. And, at JC Whitney, we have a great selection of Omix, Gabriel and Rancho shocks for your Jeep. If you've got a lift job that needs rugged off-road absorbency, we've got it. Or, if you just want to replace your shocks, we've got it. You need it, we've got it.

What's in a name?

Everything. If you go off-roading in your Jeep® (and by off-roading we mean more than just the grass on the side of the driveway), you probably see some rough terrain. We've got some high-performance control arms that can take a beating. Because, while you may like driving up mountains, tow trucks don't.

Your wheels need to work together.

When you're pushing your Jeep to the max, you need some help staying in control. Steering stabilizers and dampeners help your Jeep's front wheels stay secure. Lets say you're off-roading and you hit a pit — your steering wheel won't jerk. Quit fighting with your steering wheel. You're the boss. Get your Jeep's steering under control so you can spend your time on the important things. Like avoiding cliffs.

The last piece of the steering puzzle.

This is absolutely the last name you'll have to remember for your master's degree in steering repair. Tie rods and sleeves tie everything together. They connect your truck's ball joints to the center rod. So, if they break, you're stuck. Remember, all of our replacement parts meet or exceed manufacturer's requirements.
