Gusher Bearing design: a metal-to-metal Problem Solver bearing provides strength and lets grease flow through the bearing surface to reduce friction.
Greaseable socket: allows new lubricant to flush out contaminants, helping reduce corrosion and wear.
Heat-treated ball stud: studs are heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements to inhibit premature failure and improve fatigue strength.
Sealed against debris: a pressed-in cover plate and Belleville preload washer help keep the bearing package tight as it wears, minimizing looseness.
The housing is coated for corrosion resistance and designed for OE fit and function, so replacement helps restore vehicle handling when a worn joint is the cause. Signs a ball joint may need replacing include clunking over the front suspension on acceleration or turns, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear.
