MOOG 13-20 Buick Encore Front Lower Ball Joint

Moog is known for making well-built suspension parts that often solve common vehicle issues. If you're working on the front end of your 2013-2020 Buick Encore, this Moog K500317 front lower ball joint is a solid option to consider. It's designed to replace the original part and help restore that like-new steering feel you're looking for.

What sets this ball joint apart is its Problem Solver Gusher Bearing design. This metal-to-metal setup lets grease flow through the bearing surface, which helps reduce friction and extend the life of the joint. It also features a patented cover plate that seals out dirt and debris, keeping the bearing from getting too loose over time. The ball stud itself is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment specs, making it strong and resistant to premature failure. Plus, the greaseable socket means you can flush out contaminants and add fresh lubricant, further protecting it from wear and corrosion.

Installation is made easier thanks to precision tolerances, ensuring it fits right and helps with steering alignment. It also includes a Belleville preload washer that helps keep the bearing package tight as the joint naturally wears over time.
