MOOG 99-22 Ford E-350 Super Duty Front Lower Ball Joint

MOOG is known for making well-built suspension parts that often include clever solutions to common problems. This front lower ball joint, part number K80197, is designed for a wide range of Ford E-Series vans, including models like the E-350 Super Duty, E-250, and E-150, spanning from 1992 all the way up to 2023. If you're tackling suspension work on one of these vans, a reliable ball joint is crucial for proper steering and a comfortable ride.

This MOOG ball joint uses a "Gusher Bearing" design. What that means is it's a metal-to-metal setup that allows grease to flow through the bearing surface. This helps reduce friction and wear, especially important since you can grease it to flush out contaminants and keep it lubricated. The ball studs are heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment specs, which helps prevent premature failure and improves fatigue strength. It also comes with a pre-installed dust boot to keep dirt and water out, and a Belleville preload washer that helps keep the bearing package tight as the parts wear over time. These features combine to make installation straightforward and help ensure a good fit for steering alignment.
