What is the benefit of a greaseable ball joint?

A greaseable ball joint allows you to inject fresh lubricant into the socket. This helps to flush out contaminants like dirt and water, reducing internal corrosion and wear, which can extend the life of the ball joint.

How does the gusher bearing design improve longevity?

The gusher bearing design uses a metal-to-metal contact that has channels for grease to flow. This continuous lubrication helps to keep the bearing surface cool and reduces friction, preventing premature wear and extending the overall service life of the ball joint.

Does this ball joint come with all necessary hardware for installation?

This product includes the ball joint and a Belleville preload washer. It is recommended to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for a complete list of required hardware and tools for proper installation.

Product Details

Moog is known for making well-built suspension parts that often solve common vehicle issues. This front upper ball joint, part number K6540, is designed to restore that like-new steering feel to a wide range of trucks and SUVs, including popular models like the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Yukon XL 1500. If your vehicle is pulling to one side, making clunking noises over bumps, or just feels loose in the steering, a worn ball joint is often the culprit.

This Moog ball joint uses a gusher bearing design, which means it has a metal-to-metal contact that allows grease to flow through the bearing surface. This helps reduce friction and wear, contributing to a longer service life. The ball stud itself is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment requirements, making it strong and resistant to premature failure. It also features a greaseable socket, so you can flush out contaminants and keep things lubricated. The follower ball joint design is an updated approach that helps extend product life and makes installation simpler.

When you're ready to replace your ball joints, you'll appreciate the precision tolerances that Moog builds into these parts, which help ensure an easy installation and proper steering alignment. A Belleville preload washer is included to keep the bearing package tight as the bearings naturally wear over time.
