What is the benefit of the Gusher Bearing design?

The Gusher Bearing design in this Moog ball joint is a metal-to-metal setup that allows grease to flow through the bearing surface. This helps reduce friction and wear, contributing to a longer service life for the ball joint.

Does this ball joint come with a grease fitting?

Yes, this ball joint features a greaseable socket. This allows you to add fresh lubricant to flush out contaminants, which helps reduce corrosion and wear.

What does the heat-treated ball stud do?

The ball studs are heat-treated to match or exceed original equipment specifications. This process helps prevent premature failure and improves the fatigue strength of the stud, ensuring reliable performance.

Product Details

The Gusher Bearing design in this Moog ball joint is a notable feature, allowing grease to flow through the bearing surface. This metal-to-metal setup helps reduce friction and extends the life of the joint, which is crucial for maintaining smooth steering on your 2004-2013 Mazda 3.

Moog has also incorporated a patented pressed-in cover plate that seals out dirt and debris, further minimizing looseness and bearing wear. The ball studs are heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment requirements, helping to prevent early failure and improve fatigue strength. This attention to material and design means you're getting a well-built part that's ready to restore like-new steering performance.

Installation is made easier thanks to precision tolerances, ensuring a good fit and simplifying steering alignment. The socket is greaseable, which is a practical way to reduce corrosion and wear by flushing out contaminants with fresh lubricant. A Belleville preload washer is also included to help keep the bearing package tight as the bearings naturally wear over time.
