Tighten up a worn Ford Ranger ball joint with the MOOG Chassis Products Suspension Ball Joint K8738, a front upper joint that also carries the QuickSteer K8738 designation. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2011 Ford Ranger, 2001-2010 Mazda B2300, 1998-2007 Mazda B3000, 1998-2001 Mazda B2500 and 1998-2003 Mazda B4000 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level fitment.
Problem Solver Gusher Bearing: a metal-to-metal design built for strength that allows grease to flow through the bearing surface for reduced friction.
Heat-treated ball stud: treated to match or exceed OE requirements to inhibit premature failure and improve fatigue strength.
Greaseable socket & premium boot: new lubricant flushes out contaminants while the boot helps keep debris from the bearing.
Belleville preload washer: helps keep the bearing package tight as the bearings wear, and a pressed-in cover plate seals out debris.
Built from heavy-duty gauge steel for strength and durability. If a loose or worn front upper ball joint is the cause of steering wander, clunking, or uneven tire wear on your Ranger, replacing it helps restore handling. Sold individually; front upper joints install as a left/right pair, so order two if you're servicing both sides.
