What is a 'gusher bearing' and why is it beneficial?

A gusher bearing is a metal-to-metal design that allows grease to flow through the bearing surface. This continuous lubrication helps reduce friction and heat, leading to longer component life and improved performance.

Does this ball joint come with a dust boot?

Yes, this ball joint comes with a pre-installed dust boot. This boot is crucial for protecting the internal socket components from dirt, water, and other road debris that can cause wear.

Is this ball joint greaseable?

Yes, the socket on this ball joint is greaseable. This feature allows you to periodically add fresh grease, which helps flush out contaminants and reduce corrosion and wear within the joint.

Product Details

The MOOG K500245 ball joint uses a metal-to-metal gusher bearing design. This allows grease to flow through the bearing surface, which helps reduce friction and extend the life of the joint. The ball stud itself is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment specifications, giving it improved fatigue strength and resistance to premature failure. This part is designed to fit a range of popular trucks and SUVs, including models like the 2015-2016 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2015-2016 Chevrolet Tahoe, and 2014-2016 GMC Sierra 1500.

Installation is made easier thanks to precision tolerances that ensure it fits right out of the box, helping with steering alignment. A pre-installed dust boot works to keep dirt and water out, protecting the internal socket components from wear. It also includes a Belleville preload washer, which helps maintain a tight bearing package as the bearings naturally wear over time. Because this socket is greaseable, you can flush out contaminants with fresh lubricant, further reducing corrosion and wear.
