Help tighten up a loose, clunking front end with the MOOG QuickSteer K90493 Front Lower Suspension Ball Joint — a direct-fit 2002-2005 Honda Civic ball joint that also drops onto the 2002-2004 Acura RSX. It fits the 2002-2004 Acura RSX and 2002-2005 Honda Civic (see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine details), connecting the front lower control arm to the steering knuckle so the wheel can pivot and travel while staying located.
MOOG QuickSteer chassis parts are designed and tested to help restore steering and handling toward original performance.
- Greaseable socket: lets fresh lubricant flush out contaminants to reduce corrosion and wear.
- Heat-treated ball stud: treated to match or exceed OE requirements to resist premature failure and improve fatigue strength.
- Belleville preload washer: helps keep the bearing package tight as the internal bearings wear.
- Pressed-in cover plate: patented seal helps keep debris out and minimizes looseness.
Coated for corrosion resistance and built to precision tolerances for a straightforward installation. This part is cataloged under both the MOOG and QuickSteer names. Signs the original may need replacing include clunking on acceleration or over bumps, wandering steering, and uneven front tire wear — diagnose the cause before replacing, since these symptoms can have other sources.
