MOOG Chassis Products Suspension Ball Joint P/N:K500153
Help bring back steady, predictable steering with the QuickSteer suspension ball joint K778. It is the pivot that links the control arm to the knuckle, letting the suspension move while keeping the wheel located. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1987-1996 Dodge Dakota, 1959-1962 Chrysler Town & Country and 1957-1961 Chrysler 300. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
QuickSteer designs and tests its chassis parts to return steering and handling to their original performance. The K778 is cataloged for the front upper and rear upper positions on the listed applications.
If a worn ball joint is behind loose or wandering steering, replacing it helps restore vehicle handling.

Have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause before ordering parts. Checking the wheel alignment after installation is recommended.
