Product Details
When you're working on the front suspension of a range of vehicles like the 2011-2015 Kia Optima, 2011-2014 Hyundai Sonata, or 2013-2018 Hyundai Santa Fe, a solid lower ball joint is key to restoring smooth, predictable steering. This Moog K500231 front lower ball joint is built to get your vehicle handling like it did when it was new.
Moog uses a gusher bearing design, which is a metal-to-metal setup that lets grease flow through the bearing surface. This helps reduce friction and wear, contributing to a longer life for the part. The ball stud itself is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment requirements, making it strong and resistant to premature failure. Plus, the socket is greaseable, meaning you can flush out contaminants and keep fresh lubricant in there, further reducing corrosion and wear. It also includes a Belleville preload washer to keep the bearing package tight as the components naturally wear over time.
Installation is made easier thanks to precision tolerances that help ensure a good fit and make steering alignment straightforward. This ball joint is designed to absorb impacts and keep the bearing package tight, giving you confidence in its performance.
