Honestly, I just don't know. It looks like it has the right pieces in the set but I couldn't say for sure. Does it say if it comes with Jeep, Chrysler or Ram adapters?
Nope. I'm checking through reviews and don't see anything Chrysler related. I'll still go to the store and see if there are more details. The one you sent me, isn't carried anywhere around me, or I need to buy it online. Only problem is I need it today.

Like I said, it "looks" like the HF kit comes with what you need. If you go back to autozone, ask them if they have a Jeep adapter. It might be a different make than OTC but I've been able to rent one from them in the past. Napa might have what you need too.

As long as the diameter is the same and the part that presses into the knuckle is the same between the old and new, you're good. See photo below. If you have a dial caliper, I would measure the diameters just to be safe.
So I went for it because they fit. The lower came with a snap ring. Lower is pressed all the way but doesn't expose the snap ring slot. Looks just like the factory one did before removing it and the factory one had a snap ring slot, no snap ring. Should I run with it?

I would clean both surfaces really well and try to get that snap ring on there. Looking at the photos, it should be the same distance and fit. I would try to figure out how to get it in there.

Now that I'm looking, I don't see how the snap ring would fit. I just looked at our JK, the old WJ axle, and my new ProRock and NONE have snap rings on the lower ball joint. It's your call, but maybe you're ok without them:
Haha well at this point, I think I'll run with it because the oem ball joints didn't have one...btw this is much worse then I remember. Must of been having the right tools and a lift back in the day. I was able to make one of my sleeves work by grinding it down similar to the Chrysler version. After many other attempts of course....

One side down. Took it for a short drive under 15 to make sure it didn't fall off. Feels better already!

It's probably too late but if I recall the Dynatrac Pro Steers with the "splines" are for a sloppy hole and it says something like use as a last resort because it will ruin the hole in the knuckle. Hopefully I'm not remembering correctly

this^^^^ use the splined set as a last resort or if the previous bj had splines
Well one side is already in. Regardless, the d30 will be gone in the next year or so hopefully and I won't ha e to deal with it anymore.

Ball Joints are in! Took it for a drive without the SS and up to 60 mph over numerous bumpy roads trying to simulate it and it drove great. Thank you everyone for you help! One more question, if i didn't experience and DW on my test drive, should i still use caution going up to 80 or should i be good?
Sounds to me like you've fixed your problem. You should be good to go - congrats :thumb:

So cool you fixed it. And I hope it fixed your original symptom of fighting the steering too. You should be fine. All DW experiences I have had have been below 55mph, but maybe that's just me. I wouldn't worry about yours unless you feel like it's starting to come back again.
