• Problem Solver Gusher Bearing: a metal-to-metal design that adds strength and channels grease through the bearing surface to reduce friction.
• Greaseable socket: lets fresh lubricant flush out contaminants to help reduce corrosion and wear.
• Heat-treated ball stud: processed to match or exceed OE requirements to inhibit premature failure and improve fatigue strength.
• Belleville preload washer & pressed-in cover plate: keep the bearing package tight as it wears and seal out debris to minimize looseness.

Built with heavy-duty gauge steel construction and a premium boot that keeps out contaminants, it's designed for OE fit and function. Precision tolerances make for straightforward installation and steering alignment. If a worn upper ball joint is behind your clunking, loose steering, or uneven tire wear, replacing it helps restore vehicle handling.
