FAQ

How do I know my YXZ1000R 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 YXZ1000R models does it fit?

All Balls lists the Yamaha YXZ1000R (2016-2025), Wolverine RMAX2 and RMAX4 1000 (2021-2026) and Wolverine X2 1000 (2024-2026), for both the upper and lower positions.

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 (42-1053-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.
