Keep your Ford's front suspension tight and steering true with the MOOG Chassis Products Front Upper Suspension Ball Joint K8412T. This greaseable joint connects and pivots the front upper control arm, letting the wheel steer and move through suspension travel — a direct-fit replacement for the 1981-1983 Ford F-100, 1981-1986 Ford F-150, 1983-1997 Ford Ranger, 1984-1990 Ford Bronco II, and 1991-1994 Ford Explorer (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details).
Problem Solver Gusher Bearing: a metal-to-metal design that adds strength and lets grease flow through the bearing surface to reduce friction and support long service life.
Heat-treated ball stud: the ball stud is heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements, helping inhibit premature failure and improve fatigue strength.
Greaseable socket: allows new lubricant to flush out contaminants, helping reduce corrosion and wear.
Easy to install: precision tolerances are designed to ease installation and steering alignment.
Signs a front upper ball joint may need replacing include clunking from the front suspension over bumps or when turning, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing. Sold individually; order two to replace both sides together for balanced steering and wear.
