What is the benefit of a greaseable ball joint?

A greaseable ball joint allows you to periodically add fresh lubricant. This helps to flush out contaminants like dirt and water, reducing internal corrosion and wear, which can extend the life of the ball joint.

Does this ball joint come with a dust boot?

Yes, this Moog ball joint comes with a pre-installed dust boot. This boot is crucial for shielding the internal socket components from damaging contaminants like dirt and water.

What does the Gusher bearing design do?

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

Product Details

If you're tackling front-end work on your 1991-1994 Ford Explorer, Ranger, or a similar Mazda truck from the same era, a worn upper ball joint can cause sloppy steering and uneven tire wear. This Moog K8676 upper ball joint is built to restore precise control and keep your wheels pointed where you want them.

Moog designed this ball joint with a Gusher bearing, which is a metal-to-metal design that lets grease flow through the bearing surface. This helps reduce friction and prolong its life, especially when you take advantage of the greaseable socket to flush out contaminants and add fresh lubricant. The ball stud itself is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment requirements, helping to prevent premature failure. Plus, a pre-installed dust boot works to keep dirt and water out, protecting the internal socket components from damage. The Belleville preload washer helps maintain a tight bearing package as the ball joint wears over time.

This ball joint is a solid option for a wide range of Ford and Mazda trucks from the early to mid-90s. It's designed for an easy installation, ensuring it fits right and allows for proper steering alignment.
