Help restore steering and handling with the MOOG Chassis Suspension Ball Joint K500014, a front upper Ford Explorer ball joint that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2006-2010 Ford Explorer, 2007-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and 2006-2010 Mercury Mountaineer. This front upper joint locates the steering knuckle to the control arm while allowing the suspension to pivot and articulate over the road. If a worn ball joint is behind your looseness, clunking, or uneven tire wear, this is the part that replaces it — always diagnose the cause before ordering.
- PROBLEM SOLVER GUSHER BEARING: Metal-to-metal design provides strength and allows grease to flow through the bearing surface for reduced friction and long life.
- Greaseable socket: Can be greased to help flush out contaminants and debris, reducing corrosion and wear.
- Heat-treated ball studs: 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, and a coated finish adds corrosion resistance.
Designed for OE fit and function, with precision tolerances for easy installation and steering alignment. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level fitment.
