What does a ball joint do?

A ball joint connects your control arm to the steering knuckle, allowing your wheels to pivot for steering. It also allows the suspension to move up and down. When a ball joint wears out, it can lead to loose steering, clunking noises, or uneven tire wear.

Why is this ball joint greaseable?

The socket on this ball joint is greaseable. This feature allows you to flush out contaminants and add fresh lubricant. Doing so helps reduce corrosion and wear, extending the life of the ball joint.

Does this ball joint come with a dust boot?

Yes, this ball joint features a patented pressed-in cover plate that acts as a seal. This seal helps keep debris out and minimizes looseness, which reduces bearing wear and promotes a longer service life.

Product Details

If you're working on the front suspension of your 2016-2021 Hyundai Tucson, this Moog K500364 front left lower ball joint is a solid option. A ball joint connects your control arm to the steering knuckle, allowing your wheels to pivot for steering while also letting the suspension move up and down. When it wears out, you might notice loose steering, clunking noises, or uneven tire wear.

Moog builds these ball joints with a Gusher bearing design. This metal-to-metal setup lets grease flow through the bearing surface, which helps reduce friction and extend its life. The stud is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment specs, making it strong and resistant to failure. It also features a Belleville preload washer that keeps the bearing package tight as it wears, and the socket is greaseable so you can flush out contaminants and add fresh lubricant to reduce corrosion and wear.

This ball joint is designed for a precise fit, making installation straightforward and helping to ensure your steering alignment is correct afterward. It's a well-built part intended to restore that like-new steering feel to your vehicle.
