  • Greaseable socket: lets fresh lubricant flush out contaminants to reduce corrosion and wear.
  • Pressed-in cover plate: a patented design that seals out debris and minimizes looseness, reducing bearing wear.
  • Belleville preload washer: helps keep the bearing package tight as the bearings wear.
  • Problem Solver gusher bearing: a metal-to-metal design that lets grease flow across the bearing surface for reduced friction.

The ball stud is heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements to inhibit premature failure and improve fatigue strength, and precision tolerances make for straightforward installation and steering alignment. Backed by rigorous MOOG engineering and testing.
