MOOG Chassis Products Suspension Ball Joint P/N:K500381
Help bring back steady, predictable steering with the MOOG CHASSIS ball joint K6023, a front lower ball joint designed for OE fit and function. It is listed for many models from Chevrolet and GMC, all engines, among them the 1963-1966 Chevrolet Suburban, 1971-1972 Chevrolet G10 Van and 1971-1972 Chevrolet G20 Van.
MOOG designs and tests these chassis parts to help return steering and handling to their original performance. Key features:
A premium boot keeps contaminants out, and heavy-duty gauge steel construction adds strength and durability. Precision tolerances are intended for easy installation and steering alignment. This is a press-in, non-adjustable design with a cotter pin hole, and mounting hardware is included.
A ball joint connects the control arm to the steering knuckle, allowing the wheel to pivot as you steer while the suspension travels up and down. Signs this suspension ball joint may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and noticeable play at the wheel. Diagnose the cause first; if a worn lower ball joint is the problem, K6023 replaces it.
The listed applications use two per vehicle. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of many applications.
