What is the benefit of the Gusher Bearing design?

The Gusher Bearing is a metal-to-metal design that allows grease to flow through the bearing surface. This helps reduce friction and wear, contributing to a longer service life for the ball joint.

Does this ball joint come with grease?

This ball joint is designed to be greaseable. You will need to add fresh lubricant during installation and periodically thereafter to flush out contaminants and maintain proper lubrication.

What does it mean that the ball stud is heat treated?

Heat treating the ball stud makes it stronger and more resistant to fatigue. This process helps ensure the stud meets or exceeds original equipment specifications, reducing the risk of premature failure.
