Description

Restore the pivot between the steering knuckle and control arm with the MOOG CHASSIS ball joint K8773, a QuickSteer/MOOG front lower suspension ball joint built to bring worn steering and handling back toward original performance. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1993-1994 Mazda 323, 1993-1998 Mazda Protege, 1994-1995 Mazda MX-3, 1997-2003 Ford Escort, and 1997-1999 Mercury Tracer — see the Buyer's Guide tab for full engine coverage.

Gusher Bearing design: a metal-to-metal problem-solver bearing adds strength and channels grease through the bearing surface to reduce friction and wear.
Greaseable socket: lets fresh lubricant flush out contaminants, helping limit corrosion and wear.
Premium boot: keeps dirt and moisture out of the joint, while a pressed-in cover plate helps seal out debris and minimize looseness.
Heat-treated ball stud & steel construction: the stud is heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements for fatigue strength, and a Belleville preload washer helps keep the bearing package tight as it wears.

Designed for OE fit and function with precision tolerances for straightforward installation. Signs this joint may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, wandering steering, and uneven front tire wear.
