Gusher Bearing design: a metal-to-metal Problem Solver bearing adds strength and lets grease flow across the bearing surface to reduce friction and support long life.
Greaseable socket: allows new lubricant to flush out contaminants, helping reduce corrosion and wear.
Heat-treated ball stud: heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements to inhibit premature failure and improve fatigue strength.
Sealed against debris: a premium boot and patented pressed-in cover plate help seal out contaminants, while a Belleville preload washer helps keep the bearing package tight as bearings wear.
Built with heavy-duty gauge steel construction and designed for OE fit and function, this ball joint uses precision tolerances for easy installation and steering alignment. Replacing a worn front upper ball joint helps restore vehicle handling.
