MOOG backs its ball joints with superior materials and rigorous testing. This front upper suspension ball joint uses a new and improved follower design, intended to extend product life and simplify installation.
Precision tolerances are designed for easy installation and steering alignment. Signs a ball joint may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. Other components can cause these symptoms too, so inspect the suspension to confirm the cause before replacing, and have the alignment checked after installation.
What does the MOOG K6122 ball joint do?
It serves as the front upper pivot between the control arm and the steering knuckle, letting the suspension move up and down while the wheels steer.
Which vehicles does the MOOG K6122 fit?
It fits many vehicles, including the 1975-1999 Chevrolet P30, 1979-1999 GMC P3500 and 1975-1996 Chevrolet G30. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Can this ball joint be greased?
Yes. It has a greaseable socket, so fresh lubricant can be added to flush out contaminants, which helps reduce corrosion and wear.
How are the ball studs made to resist failure?
MOOG heat treats the ball studs to match or exceed OE requirements. This helps inhibit premature failure and improve fatigue strength.
What are signs a ball joint may need replacing?
Clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear can be signs of a worn ball joint. Other parts can cause these symptoms too, so inspect the suspension before replacing.
