QuickSteer chassis parts are designed and tested to return steering and handling to their original performance. MOOG backs its ball joints with quality materials and rigorous testing. In the front lower position, the joint is the pivot between the lower control arm and the steering knuckle, so the wheel can steer and move with the suspension.

• Oversized for a tight fit: a larger outer diameter, .006 in oversized, is designed to seat snugly in a worn receptacle.
• Problem Solver Gusher bearing: a metal-to-metal design provides strength and lets grease flow through the bearing surface to reduce friction.
• Strong and durable: the ball stud is heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements, which helps inhibit premature failure and improves fatigue strength. The joint uses heavy-duty gauge steel construction.
• Greaseable and protected: the greaseable socket lets new lubricant flush out contaminants to reduce corrosion and wear. A pre-installed dust boot keeps dirt and water away from the socket components. A Belleville preload washer helps keep the bearing package tight as the bearings wear.

Precision tolerances are intended to make installation and steering alignment straightforward.
