What does the 'gusher bearing' design do?

The gusher bearing is a metal-to-metal design that allows grease to flow through the bearing surface. This helps reduce friction and extend the life of the ball joint by ensuring proper lubrication.

Does this ball joint come with a dust boot?

Yes, this Moog ball joint comes with a pre-installed dust boot. This boot is important for shielding the socket components from dirt, water, and other contaminants that can cause wear.

Can I replace just the ball joint, or do I need other parts?

This is a direct replacement front lower ball joint. While it's designed to fit your 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma, it's always a good idea to inspect other suspension components like tie rods and control arm bushings during installation to ensure everything is in good condition.
