Keep your steering tight and your front suspension precise with the MOOG K80228 Front Lower Suspension Ball Joint. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2004-2008 Acura TSX and 2003-2007 Honda Accord (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment), pivoting the front lower control arm to the steering knuckle so the wheel can steer and travel while the joint supports and locates the suspension. If a worn, loose, or torn original ball joint is behind your clunking, wandering steering, or uneven tire wear, this MOOG unit is designed to restore that connection.
Gusher Bearing design: a metal-to-metal PROBLEM SOLVER bearing that lets grease flow through the bearing surface for reduced friction and long life.
Premium boot: keeps contaminants out of the joint.
Heat-treated ball stud: treated to match or exceed OE requirements to resist premature failure and improve fatigue strength.
Belleville preload washer: helps keep the bearing package tight as the bearings wear.
Heavy-duty gauge steel construction adds strength and durability, while a patented pressed-in cover plate seals out debris and minimizes looseness. Precision tolerances are designed for straightforward installation and steering alignment. Designed for OE fit and function to help restore vehicle handling.
