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 wear, contributing to a longer lifespan for the ball joint.

Does this ball joint come with the necessary hardware for installation?

This product is the ball joint itself. It's recommended to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions or consult a professional to confirm if any additional hardware is typically required for your specific vehicle.

How often should I grease this ball joint?

Since this is a greaseable socket, it's best to lubricate it during regular vehicle maintenance. Refer to your vehicle's service manual or consult a mechanic for the recommended greasing intervals to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
