Keep the front suspension tight and the steering precise with the MOOG Chassis Products Front Upper Suspension Ball Joint K8676. It pivots between the upper control arm and the steering knuckle, carrying suspension load while letting the wheel travel and steer — and it drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1990 Ford Bronco II, 1991-1994 Ford Explorer, 1990-1997 Ford Ranger, 1995-1996 Mazda B2300, 1994-1997 Mazda B3000, 1994-1997 Mazda B4000, and 1991-1994 Mazda Navajo (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment).
- Gusher Bearing design: A metal-to-metal bearing that lets grease flow through the bearing surface to reduce friction.
- Greaseable socket: Lets fresh lubricant flush contaminants to help reduce corrosion and wear.
- Heat-treated ball stud: Treated to match or exceed OE requirements for improved fatigue strength.
- Pre-installed dust boot & Belleville preload washer: The boot shields socket components from dirt and water, while the preload washer helps keep the bearing package tight as bearings wear.
Precision tolerances are designed for easy installation and steering alignment. Worn ball joints can show up as clunking over the front end, wandering steering, or uneven tire wear; if a failed upper ball joint is the cause, this replaces it.
