Which ball joints?

In process of replacing upper and lower ball joints and all steering ball joints. Got the knuckles off and my little ball joint press wouldn't budge them. So I took them to a shop to have them press out the old and press in the new ones. The upper ball joints were correct but they told me the lower ones are too small. I got a set of ball joints that was supposed to fit on a 94 F250 4WD. Which lower joints do I need to get? Anyone have manufacturer part numbers? I believe it's a 50 IFS front axle.

Sounds like you have a 4600# axle, and you currently have lower ball joints for the 3850-pounder. Raybestos/Spicer PN 505-1103B for the less expensive lower joint.

Good luck...

Wow, exactly what I wanted, an affordable greasable ball joint, thanks!

So what's technically the difference between the 2 axles?

Thanks again for your help!
