MOOG 98-04 Nissan Frontier Front Upper Ball Joint

If you're working on the front suspension of your 1998-2004 Nissan Frontier or 2000-2004 Nissan Xterra, this Moog front upper ball joint is a solid option. Ball joints are critical for connecting your control arms to the steering knuckles, allowing your wheels to pivot for steering while also handling suspension movement. When they wear out, you can get sloppy steering, clunking noises, and uneven tire wear.

Moog builds these ball joints with a gusher bearing design. This means grease can flow through the bearing surface, which helps reduce friction and extend its life. It's also a greasable socket, so you can flush out contaminants and add fresh lubricant during maintenance, further cutting down on corrosion and wear. The ball stud itself is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment specs, which helps prevent premature failure. Plus, the patented cover plate helps keep debris out and minimizes looseness as the bearing wears, keeping your steering feeling tighter for longer.

This ball joint is designed for a precise fit, making installation straightforward and helping ensure your steering alignment is correct after the job is done. It also includes a Belleville preload washer, which helps keep the bearing package tight as the components naturally wear over time.
