What is the Moog Gusher Bearing design?

The Gusher Bearing is a metal-to-metal design that allows grease to flow through the bearing surface. This feature helps reduce friction and extend the life of the ball joint.

Why is it important for the ball stud to be heat treated?

Heat treating the ball studs helps them meet or exceed original equipment requirements. This process inhibits premature failure and improves fatigue strength, contributing to a more reliable suspension component.

Does this ball joint come with any hardware?

Product Details

This Moog K500087 is a front upper ball joint for your 2005-2009 Chevrolet C4500 Kodiak. Ball joints are a critical part of your suspension system, connecting your control arms to the steering knuckles and allowing for smooth steering movement. When they wear out, you might notice clunking noises, loose steering, or uneven tire wear.

Moog builds this ball joint with a Gusher Bearing, which is a metal-to-metal design that lets grease flow through the bearing surface. This helps reduce friction and extend the life of the joint. The ball stud itself is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment requirements, which helps prevent premature failure and improves its resistance to fatigue. It's also a greaseable socket, meaning you can flush out contaminants and add fresh lubricant to reduce corrosion and wear.

This ball joint is designed for an easy installation with precise tolerances, ensuring it fits right and helps with steering alignment. Moog offers comprehensive coverage for many foreign and domestic vehicles.
