What does a greaseable ball joint allow me to do?

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

How does the pressed-in cover plate help?

The patented pressed-in cover plate acts as a seal, keeping dirt, dust, and other debris out of the ball joint assembly. This helps to minimize looseness and reduce bearing wear, promoting a longer service life for the part.

Do I need any special tools to install this ball joint?

While this ball joint is designed for easy installation, a ball joint press tool is typically required to safely remove the old unit and install the new one. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific tool requirements and procedures.

Product Details

If you're noticing looseness in your steering or uneven tire wear on your 1996-2005 Ford Taurus, it might be time to replace the rear upper ball joints. These components are crucial for connecting your suspension arms to the steering knuckle, allowing your wheels to turn smoothly and maintain proper alignment. Worn ball joints can lead to vague steering and premature tire damage.

This Moog ball joint is built with a heat-treated ball stud that meets or exceeds original equipment requirements, helping to prevent early failure and improve fatigue strength. The patented pressed-in cover plate works to keep out dirt and debris, which reduces wear on the bearing and extends its life. It also features a Belleville preload washer that keeps the bearing package snug as the parts wear over time. Plus, it's a greaseable socket, so you can flush out contaminants with fresh lubricant, further reducing corrosion and wear.

Moog designs these ball joints for a precise fit, making installation straightforward and helping to ensure your steering alignment is correct right out of the box. This makes it a solid option for getting your Taurus back to feeling tight and responsive on the road.
