Why is a greaseable ball joint better?

A greaseable ball joint allows you to periodically flush out old grease and contaminants by adding new lubricant. This process helps reduce wear and corrosion, potentially extending the lifespan of the ball joint compared to a sealed unit.

What does the 'gusher bearing' design do?

The gusher bearing design in this MOOG ball joint allows grease to flow through the bearing and onto the ball stud. This continuous lubrication helps reduce friction and wear, contributing to improved strength and longevity.

Does this ball joint come with a grease fitting?

Yes, this ball joint features an easy-to-install, pre-tapped grease fitting hole, making it simple to add new lubricant for maintenance. It is designed to accept standard grease fittings.
