Moog K8035 - Moog Ball Joints

The design and engineering features of these ball joints ensure that Moog products will deliver the performance and durability necessary to meet the demanding needs of customers.

The ball joint housings are forged and/or machined from a single block of fine-grain alloy steel, providing unequaled strength and durability. Powdered-metal gusher bearings with grease grooves resist wear better than conventional designs. Moog's innovative approach allows grease to flow through the bearing to the stud and provides a smooth, durable surface that extends service life. Moog's design also transfers the load to the housing and provides strength and stability. Patented pressed-in cover plates minimize radial and axial deflection, securing a solid-steering feel.

To seal ball joint boots, Moog uses polychloroprene and polyurethane--superior compounds that withstand dirt, abrasion, and temperature extremes. Boots also have grease relief valves so debris can be flushed out when ball joints are serviced to help prevent contamination.
