Gusher Bearing design: a metal-to-metal bearing that adds strength and lets grease flow across the bearing surface to reduce friction.
Greaseable socket: lets fresh lubricant flush contaminants for reduced corrosion and wear.
Pre-installed dust boot: shields the socket components from dirt and water that cause wear.
Heat-treated ball studs & heavy-duty gauge steel: built to match or exceed OE requirements to resist premature failure and improve fatigue strength.
A Belleville preload washer helps keep the bearing package tight as bearings wear. Signs a ball joint may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. Designed for OE fit and function; if a worn joint is the cause, this replacement helps restore steering and handling.
