Keep steering tight and front-end handling predictable with the MOOG K80107 Front Lower Suspension Ball Joint (also cataloged as QuickSteer K80107). This front lower ball joint drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2012 Ford Escape, 2001-2006 and 2008-2011 Mazda Tribute, and 2005-2011 Mercury Mariner — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. A ball joint locates the steering knuckle and lets the wheel steer and travel; worn joints can bring clunking over the suspension, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear.
Gusher Bearing design: a metal-to-metal PROBLEM SOLVER bearing lets grease flow across the bearing surface to reduce friction.
Greaseable socket: lets fresh lubricant flush contaminants out to slow corrosion and wear.
Heat-treated ball studs: treated to match or exceed OE requirements to improve fatigue strength.
Sealed against debris: a premium boot and pressed-in cover plate help keep contaminants out and minimize looseness.
Built from heavy-duty gauge steel with a Belleville preload washer that helps keep the bearing package tight as it wears, this QuickSteer/MOOG joint is designed for OE fit and function with precision tolerances for straightforward installation and alignment.
