Keep your front suspension tight and precise with the MOOG K500004 Front Lower Suspension Ball Joint, a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2011 Honda Element (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment). This pivot connects the lower control arm to the steering knuckle, letting the wheel steer and travel while carrying suspension loads — and it's also cataloged under the QuickSteer name for the same MPN.
Premium sealing boot: helps keep contaminants and debris out of the bearing.
Heat-treated ball stud: studs are heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements to inhibit premature failure and improve fatigue strength.
Belleville preload washer: helps keep the bearing package tight as the bearings wear.
Pressed-in cover plate: patented design seals out debris and helps minimize looseness to reduce bearing wear.
Heavy-duty gauge steel construction and precision tolerances designed for OE fit, function, and straightforward installation.
Signs the original ball joint may need replacing include clunking or popping over bumps and while turning, wandering or loose steering, and uneven front tire wear. If a worn front lower ball joint is the cause, this replacement addresses it and helps restore vehicle handling. Sold individually; the left and right sides wear together, so inspect both.
