Replace a worn front upper joint with the MOOG QuickSteer K90255 ball joint, which is designed and tested to restore steering and handling to their original performance. It fits many Toyota models, among them the 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma, 2000-2006 Toyota Tundra and 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.
As a suspension ball joint, it is the pivot linking the upper control arm to the steering knuckle, letting the wheel steer and move with the suspension. MOOG designs it for OE fit and function.
- Follower ball joint design: MOOG's new and improved follower design is intended to extend product life and simplify installation.
- Problem Solver® Gusher Bearing: a metal-to-metal design adds strength and lets grease flow through the bearing surface for reduced friction.
- Greaseable socket: new lubricant can be added to flush out contaminants, reducing corrosion and wear, and a premium boot helps keep contaminants out.
- Heat-treated ball studs: treated to match or exceed OE requirements to inhibit premature failure and improve fatigue strength, paired with heavy-duty gauge steel construction.
A Belleville preload washer helps keep the bearing package tight as the bearings wear. A patented pressed-in cover plate seals out debris and minimizes looseness, which helps reduce bearing wear. Precision tolerances are intended for easy installation and steering alignment. If a worn front upper ball joint is behind loose steering, the K90255 replaces it.
