MOOG 99-00 Cadillac Escalade Front Lower Ball Joint

When you're tackling suspension work on your truck or SUV, you want parts that are built to last and easy to get installed. This Moog K6477 front lower ball joint is designed for a range of popular GM vehicles from the mid-90s to the early 2000s, including models like the Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon, and Cadillac Escalade. It's a key component that connects your control arm to the steering knuckle, allowing your wheels to pivot for steering while also handling the up-and-down motion of the suspension.

What sets this ball joint apart is its problem-solving design. The "Gusher Bearing" allows grease to flow through the bearing surface, which helps reduce friction and keeps things lubricated for a longer lifespan. Plus, the socket is greaseable, meaning you can flush out contaminants and add fresh lubricant during routine maintenance to further combat corrosion and wear. The ball stud itself is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment specifications, giving it improved fatigue strength to resist premature failure. It also comes with a pre-installed dust boot to keep dirt and water out, protecting the internal components.

You'll appreciate the precision tolerances that Moog builds into these ball joints, which help ensure an easy installation and make it simpler to get your steering alignment dialed in correctly. The Belleville preload washer is another smart touch; it helps keep the bearing package tight as the bearings naturally wear over time, maintaining a solid feel in your steering.
