The MOOG front lower ball joint can replace a loose ball joint and restore smooth steering control if the original is worn out. The joint may start to fail when the ball joint wears down from the weight of the vehicle's loads, debris coming into the joint, or simply hollowing out and wearing out over time. When the ball joint becomes loose, the vehicle might emit clanking sounds or begin to show signs of wheel misalignment. This front lower ball joint has many features that combat these issues, like its heat treated stud, gusher bearing, and the pressed in cover plate. These joints are a great way to protect one of the suspension's key parts from breaking down over time

The MOOG front lower ball joint comes with ways to prevent damage to both itself and the vehicle that it's installed on. The ball joint comes with a heat-treated stud that is durable but flexible, preventing a break from strain or bending. It also has a pressed-in metal plate that keeps the socket and grease sealed in while also keeping the debris out. Finally, to produce more lubrication for the ball stud, the joint has a gusher bearing that allows free movement of the grease inside and makes it possible to flush out excessive debris that manages to get into the joint. These features will help ensure that the ball joint lasts longer than other ball joints.
