Front Upper Ball Joint for 2003-2007 Honda Accord & More - MOOG K80199

Help restore steady steering and handling with the MOOG K80199, a QuickSteer™ front upper ball joint built as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2007 Honda Accord and the 2004-2008 Acura TSX. It is designed for OE fit and function and is intended to bring worn front-end steering and handling back toward their original performance. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-specific details.

MOOG backs this ball joint with quality materials and thorough testing, plus features aimed at a quicker, simpler install:

• Problem Solver® Gusher Bearing: A metal-to-metal design adds strength and lets grease flow across the bearing surface to reduce friction and wear.
• Greaseable socket: Fresh lubricant can be added to flush out contaminants, which helps reduce corrosion and wear.
• Heat-treated ball studs: The studs are heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements, helping to inhibit premature failure and improve fatigue strength.
• Belleville preload washer: Absorbs impact and helps keep the bearing package tight as the bearings wear.

A patented pressed-in cover plate seals out debris and minimizes looseness to cut down on bearing wear, while a premium boot keeps contaminants out of the joint. It uses heavy-duty gauge steel construction for strength and durability, and precision tolerances are intended to make installation and steering alignment easier. As the pivot between the control arm and steering knuckle, this suspension ball joint lets the front wheel steer and travel with the suspension while holding it in position.
