Ball Joint Upper Fits Econovan, Spectron 1.6L, E1300, E1400, E1600, E2200 77 - 1/84 BJ198 - Selby
Restore safe, stable and predictable handling in your classic Mazda commercial van with the Selby BJ198 Front Upper Ball Joint, designed to suit the Mazda Econovan, Mazda Spectron 1.6L, and Mazda E-Series vans including E1300, E1400, E1600 and E2200 built between 1977 and January 1984. As an essential suspension pivot connecting the upper control arm to the steering knuckle, this ball joint maintains proper suspension geometry, accurate wheel alignment and responsive steering all crucial for vans used for work, transport or long-distance driving.
Older commercial vans commonly suffer from worn ball joints due to heavy loads, rough road surfaces, repeated suspension movement and decades of service. When worn, symptoms include clunking noises, vague or wandering steering, uneven tyre wear, and instability during braking or cornering. The Selby BJ198 solves these issues using a heavy-duty forged steel housing, hardened ball stud, and precision-machined internal bearing surfaces, providing long-lasting durability and smooth suspension movement even under load. Its sealed, pre-greased construction keeps essential lubrication inside the joint while preventing dust, moisture, grit and contaminants from entering offering dependable, maintenance-free reliability perfect for older work vehicles.
Built to strict OEM fitment specifications, this ball joint installs as a direct bolt-on replacement with no modifications required. Trusted by workshops, restorers and long-term Mazda owners across Australia, Selby suspension components are known for their strength, accuracy and long-term performance. Whether your Econovan or E-Series is used for business, camper conversion, transport or weekend projects, the BJ198 restores the solid, predictable and safe handling your van was designed to deliver.
