MOOG 1997 Ford F-250 HD Front Lower Ball Joint

Moog is known for making well-built suspension parts that solve common problems. This front lower ball joint, part number K8435, is designed for your 1980-1997 Ford F-250 or 1980-1985 Ford F-350. A ball joint is a critical pivot point in your front suspension, allowing your wheels to turn and absorb road imperfections. When it wears out, you might notice clunking noises, loose steering, or uneven tire wear.

This Moog ball joint features a Gusher Bearing design. It's a metal-to-metal setup that lets grease flow through the bearing surface, which helps reduce friction and extend its life. The ball stud itself is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment requirements, making it strong and resistant to premature failure. It also comes with a pre-installed dust boot to keep dirt and water out, protecting the internal components. A Belleville preload washer is included to help keep the bearing package tight as the part wears over time, and the socket is greaseable so you can flush out contaminants with fresh lubricant.
