FAQ

How do I know my Yamaha Viking ball joints are worn?

A clunk over bumps, play when you rock a raised front wheel top to bottom, and uneven tire wear are the usual signs. A torn boot that has let in dirt is another warning sign.

What comes in the kit?

All Balls lists one ball joint per kit. Order one kit for each joint you are replacing.

Which Yamaha Viking models does it fit?

All Balls lists Yamaha Viking 700 and Viking VI (2014-2026), Wolverine 708 (2016-2018) and Wolverine X2 and X4 850 (2018-2026), for both the upper and lower positions. See the full year list below.

Is this an upper or lower ball joint?

All Balls lists this kit for both the upper and lower positions on the listed machines.

Is installation difficult?

Ball joints are pressed into the A-arm or knuckle, so you need a ball joint press and your service manual torque values. All Balls does not publish an install sheet for this kit; many owners have a shop press the joints.

What is the difference between this and the HP version?

This kit is the sealed, maintenance-free style with a POM-M90 cup. The HP version (42-1052-HP) is steel-on-steel with a grease zerk and an adjustable end cap that takes up wear, for riders who grease their machine and want a serviceable joint.
