Tighten up your Jeep's front end with the MOOG K3161T Front Lower Suspension Ball Joint. This QuickSteer/MOOG-designed front lower ball joint locates the steering knuckle and pivots as the suspension moves and steers, and it drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1990-2001 Jeep Cherokee, 1990-1992 Jeep Comanche, 1993-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 1993 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, 1997-2006 Jeep TJ, 1990 Jeep Wagoneer, and both the 1990-1995 and 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.

  • Problem Solver Gusher Bearing: a metal-to-metal design for strength that lets grease flow through the bearing surface for reduced friction and long life.
  • Greaseable socket: lets new lubricant flush out contaminants to reduce corrosion and wear.
  • Premium pre-installed dust boot: shields socket components to help keep dirt, water, and wear-causing contaminants out.
  • Heavy-duty gauge steel construction with ball studs heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements to improve fatigue strength.

Designed for OE fit and function, this ball joint is built with precision tolerances for easy installation and steering alignment. Replacing a worn front lower ball joint helps restore vehicle handling when a failed joint is the cause of loose or wandering steering.
