MOOG 07-10 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Front Lower Ball Joint

When you're tackling front-end suspension work on your 2007-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, 2006-2010 Ford Explorer, or even a 2002-2011 Ford Ranger, a solid lower ball joint is key. This Moog K80771 front lower ball joint is designed to replace your worn-out original, helping to restore proper steering feel and alignment. You get one well-built ball joint in this package, ready to get your vehicle back on the road smoothly.

Moog builds these ball joints with a "Gusher" bearing design. What that means in practice is it has a metal-to-metal setup that lets grease flow through the bearing surface. This helps reduce friction and extends the life of the joint, especially since it's greaseable, allowing you to flush out contaminants with fresh lubricant. The ball stud itself is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment strength, which helps prevent early failure. Plus, a pre-installed dust boot keeps dirt and water out, protecting the internal components.

The engineers at Moog also focus on making installation straightforward. They hold their parts to precise tolerances, which helps ensure it fits right and makes steering alignment easier once it's installed. A Belleville preload washer is included to help keep the bearing package tight as the part naturally wears over time, maintaining a solid connection.
