Keep your steering tight and your front suspension pivoting smoothly with the MOOG K80811 Front Upper Suspension Ball Joint, a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma. This front upper ball joint connects the control arm to the steering knuckle, letting the suspension travel and the wheel pivot for steering. It's also cataloged under the QuickSteer brand as part number K80811.
Problem Solver Gusher Bearing: a metal-to-metal design that provides strength and allows grease to flow through the bearing surface for reduced friction and long life.
Greaseable socket: lets you flush in fresh lubricant to push out contaminants, reducing corrosion and wear.
Premium boot: keeps dirt and moisture out of the joint, and a pressed-in cover plate helps seal out debris.
Heat-treated ball stud & heavy-duty gauge steel construction: studs are heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements to improve fatigue strength, while a Belleville preload washer helps keep the bearing package tight as bearings wear.
Designed for OE fit and function, replacement helps restore steering and handling. If a worn upper ball joint is behind clunking, loose steering, or uneven tire wear, this replaces it.
