Description

Help steady worn steering and clunky front-end play with the MOOG Chassis QuickSteer K8560T Front Upper Suspension Ball Joint. It is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1991-1994 Ford Explorer, 1989-1997 Ford Ranger and 1989-1990 Ford Bronco II. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full application and engine details.

Designed for OE fit and function, it locates the front upper control arm and lets the knuckle pivot for steering and suspension travel.

Gusher Bearing design: a metal-to-metal Problem Solver bearing lets grease flow through the bearing surface to reduce friction.
Greaseable socket: allows new lubricant to flush out contaminants, helping reduce corrosion and wear.
Belleville preload washer: helps keep the bearing package tight as the bearings wear.
Heavy-duty gauge steel construction with heat-treated ball studs to match or exceed OE requirements, plus a premium boot that keeps out contaminants.

Precision tolerances are built in for straightforward installation and steering alignment. If a worn front upper ball joint is behind your loose steering, wandering, or clunk over bumps, replacing it helps restore vehicle handling. Sold individually.
