MOOG 14-16 Kia Sportage Front Lower Ball Joint

When you're tackling the front end of your 2014-2016 Kia Sportage, a new lower ball joint is often part of the job. This Moog K500319 ball joint is built to bring back that like-new steering feel. It features a gusher bearing design where metal-to-metal contact allows grease to flow through, reducing friction and extending the life of the joint. This helps keep your steering responsive and your ride smoother.

Moog has included a patented pressed-in cover plate that works to seal out dirt and debris, which can cause premature wear. It also helps minimize looseness over time. The ball stud itself is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment requirements, making it strong and resistant to failure. Plus, the socket is greaseable, meaning you can flush out contaminants and add fresh lubricant to fight corrosion and wear. A Belleville preload washer is also part of the design, helping to keep the bearing package tight as the components settle in.
