While MOOG greaseable parts come greased from the factory, they should also be greased at the time of installation. After installation, MOOG recommends greasing these parts at each oil change for the best service life.
Out of grease? No problem we've got you covered with this Mystik Multi-Purpose Grease tube refill.
lock Warranty Information keyboard_arrow_down
Moog fulfills their warranty through their individual dealers. That means that in order to receive warranty support, you will have to refer back to the original dealer you purchased the part from. Be sure to check the dealer's warranty support before you buy the part to make sure that they will properly support the warranty. If a dealer will only refer you back to the manufacturer in order to receive warranty support, then you may not actually have any warranty at all.
Part of our warranty process includes reviewing evidence of the defect provided by the customer. This is easily accomplished by providing video or images of the defective part so our staff can verify the claim and move forward with the warranty process. This removes the necessity of shipping the part back to our facility at the customer's expense.
WARRANTY:
Moog Premium Steering Components carry a Limited Lifetime Warranty. Moog R-Series Control Arms, Hub Assemblies, and Strut Assemblies carry a 3 Year Warranty.
Moog warranties their parts to be free of defects in materials and/or workmanship during these timeframes as measured from the date of purchase.
If a Moog part should fail due to materials or manufacturing defect while under warranty, we will provide a replacement of the part upon return of the defective part.
Wearable RUBBER parts are not covered under warranty (Dust boots, bushings, bump stops, etc.)
With all of these added features that the OE ball joint didn't have it is unlikely you'll ever need to replace this ball joint.

Stop all of the Radial Deflection with Moog
Radial Deflection? You've heard this term before but don't really know what it is. Well to everyone that's not a DST parts expert it is a big fancy phrase for the side to side movement of your GM car's ball joint inside its housing. This side to side movement is what's causing the shimmying in your front end lately, probably even some play in your steering wheel, and the uneven tire wear I know you've been experiencing. DST understands that you're worried about your car but, there is a solution. That solution is Moog's front lower ball joint K5301.
OE Design Flaw
The OE design of your car's ball joint didn't allow for the amount of radial deflection that your ball joint is experiencing. Due to this, your ball joint is starting to wear prematurely and causing the problems you're having. This premature wear, if left unchecked, can cause more problems, including your ball joint breaking, which can lead to even more time and money to repair.
Moog Problem Solver
But, worry no longer because Moog has the solution in K5301. This front lower ball joint comes with Moog's patented cover plate design that eliminates the excessive radial deflection that your ball joint is experiencing. The Belleville washer pre-load that comes with K5301 lowers torque and stud articulation with minimal axial clearance. K5301 also comes with two hardened powdered metal bearings providing the most durable wear surface to extend the life of this ball joint.
There's a Lifetime Warranty?
Moog's front lower ball joint also comes with a sealed boot that is equipped with a grease relief valve that keeps out the harmful road contaminants that lead to premature wear. With all of these added features that the OE ball joint didn't have, it is unlikely you'll ever need to replace this ball joint. However, if for some reason you do need to replace Moog's K5301 you need not worry because it comes with a lifetime warranty that our customer service folks here at DST can assist you with.
