A ball joint is the pivot point that lets the wheel steer while it moves with the suspension. QuickSteer chassis parts are designed and tested to help return steering and handling to their original performance. MOOG supports its ball joints with quality materials and thorough testing, plus problem-solving touches meant to make installation quick and straightforward. Heavy-duty gauge steel construction adds strength and durability.
Precision tolerances support easy installation and steering alignment. Among MOOG lower ball joints, K80197 is intended to help restore vehicle handling when a worn front lower joint is the cause of loose or noisy steering.

What is the Problem Solver Gusher bearing?
It is a metal-to-metal bearing design that adds strength. It also lets grease flow through the bearing surface for reduced friction and long life.
Can this ball joint be greased?
Yes. The socket is greaseable, so new lubricant can flush out contaminants to reduce corrosion and wear. A pre-installed dust boot helps keep dirt and water out.
What are signs a front lower ball joint may need replacing?
Common signs include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or a torn boot. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the ball joint is the cause before replacing it.
Is the K80197 difficult to install?
It is built to precision tolerances for easy installation and steering alignment. Follow the vehicle service information for the procedure, and have the alignment checked afterward.
