Gusher Bearing PROBLEM SOLVER design: a metal-to-metal design provides strength and allows grease to flow through the bearing surface for reduced friction and long life.
Greaseable socket: lets fresh lubricant flush out contaminants to reduce corrosion and wear.
Heat-treated ball studs: treated to match or exceed OE requirements to inhibit premature failure and improve fatigue strength.
Sealed and durable: a premium boot keeps out contaminants, a Belleville preload washer helps keep the bearing package tight as bearings wear, and heavy-duty gauge steel construction adds strength.
Designed for OE fit and function with precision tolerances for easy installation and alignment. If a worn ball joint is behind your loose steering, clunks or uneven tire wear, this replacement helps restore vehicle handling.
