Keep steering tight and suspension travel controlled with the MOOG K500231 Front Lower Suspension Ball Joint — also cataloged as QuickSteer K500231, so it's listed under both names. This front lower ball joint pivots between the control arm and steering knuckle, letting the wheel steer and the suspension move while locating the components. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the 2011-2014 Hyundai Sonata, 2012-2014 Hyundai Azera, 2011-2015 Kia Optima and more — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full vehicle list.
- Greaseable socket: lets fresh lubricant flush out contaminants to reduce corrosion and wear.
- Gusher Bearing design: metal-to-metal construction that allows grease to flow through the bearing surface for reduced friction.
- Premium boot: helps keep contaminants out of the joint.
- Heat-treated ball stud: heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements to improve fatigue strength, with heavy-duty gauge steel construction.
A Belleville preload washer helps keep the bearing package tight as bearings wear. Signs this part may need replacing include clunking over the front suspension, wandering or loose steering, and uneven tire wear; diagnose the cause before replacing. Replacement helps restore vehicle handling.
