Keep the front suspension pivoting smoothly with the MOOG K500229 Front Lower Suspension Ball Joint, a direct-fit replacement for the 2012-2017 Kia Rio, 2021-2022 Kia Seltos, 2010-2013 Kia Soul, and 2020-2023 Kia Soul. The ball joint connects the front lower control arm to the steering knuckle, letting the suspension travel and the wheels steer while carrying load. If a worn front lower joint is behind clunking, wandering steering, or uneven tire wear, this part replaces it.
Key features:
- Gusher Bearing: Problem Solver metal-to-metal design adds strength and lets grease flow through the bearing surface to reduce friction and wear.
- Greaseable socket: Allows new lubricant to flush out contaminants, reducing corrosion and wear.
- Heat-treated ball stud: Ball studs are heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements to improve fatigue strength.
- Premium boot & pressed-in cover plate: Keeps out contaminants and debris, while a Belleville preload washer helps keep the bearing package tight as bearings wear.
Built with heavy-duty gauge steel construction and designed for OE fit and function, it uses precision tolerances for easy installation and steering alignment. Ball joints wear on both sides, so inspect the opposite joint and replace as needed for balanced handling.
