Keep the front suspension tight and steering responsive with the MOOG Chassis Suspension Ball Joint K7241, a front lower ball joint that pivots the steering knuckle against the lower control arm. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1997-1999 Dodge Dakota and the 1999 Dodge Durango — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
Gusher Bearing design: a metal-to-metal bearing built for strength that lets grease flow across the bearing surface to reduce friction and wear.
Pre-installed dust boot: shields the socket components from dirt and water that cause wear.
Belleville preload washer: helps keep the bearing package tight as the bearings wear.
The ball stud is heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements to inhibit premature failure and improve fatigue strength, and the joint is coated for corrosion resistance. Designed for OE fit and function with precision tolerances for easier installation and steering alignment. Replacing a worn front lower ball joint helps restore vehicle handling. This part is listed under both the MOOG and QuickSteer names.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does this ball joint do?
It's the front lower ball joint that pivots the steering knuckle against the lower control arm, allowing the wheel to steer and the suspension to move while supporting and locating the front suspension.
Which vehicles does the K7241 fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1997-1999 Dodge Dakota and the 1999 Dodge Durango. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm engine-level fitment for your vehicle.
Can this ball joint be greased?
Yes. It has a greaseable socket that lets fresh lubricant flush contaminants out, which helps limit corrosion and wear over time.
What are signs a front lower ball joint may need replacing?
Clunking or knocking from the front suspension, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or a torn dust boot. Have the cause diagnosed before replacing.
Is the dust boot included?
