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

The Gusher Bearing design in this Moog ball joint is a notable feature. It's a metal-to-metal setup that lets grease flow right through the bearing surface. This helps cut down on friction and makes the joint last longer, which is exactly what you want when you're replacing a worn-out front upper ball joint on your 2006-2010 Ford Explorer, Mercury Mountaineer, or Ford Explorer Sport Trac.

Moog built these with heat-treated ball studs that meet or beat original equipment specs, helping to prevent early failure and giving you better fatigue strength. The patented pressed-in cover plate is smart too; it seals out dirt and grime, keeping looseness to a minimum and extending the bearing's life. Plus, the Belleville preload washer helps keep the bearing package snug as the bearings naturally wear over time. You can also grease this socket, which is a big help in fighting corrosion and wear by letting you flush out contaminants with fresh lubricant.

When it's time to put it on, you'll find these have precision tolerances that make installation straightforward and help ensure your steering alignment is spot on, giving you a solid fit right out of the box. This means you can get back to enjoying a more responsive and stable ride.
