MOOG parts come greased from the factory, but 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.)
Moog Problem Solver K8607T
OE Design Flaws
Vehicles that require the K8607T Front Lower ball joint are primarily used for heavy duty operations or are driven in harsh environments. The OE design for this ball joint is non-serviceable, meaning that if contaminants get into the part it cannot be flushed and you cannot add more grease if the ball joint loses lubrication.
Premium Moog design
Targeting factory defects and poor original design, Moog's Problem Solver K8607T Front Lower ball joint replaces the worn ball joint with a much more durable part. Moog has designed this ball joint by using a premium polychloroprene sealed boot and adding a zerk fitting, granting the ability to add grease to the part, allowing the user to flush out contaminants and keep the part lubricated.
Strength and durability
The K8607T ball joint, stocked in our Stephenville warehouse, uses a powdered-metal bearing instead of the usual plastic bearing, increasing the lifespan of the ball joint. The forged one-piece housing that Moog designed further enhances this ball joint's strength and durability. On top of that, the powdered-metal "gusher" bearing transfers vehicle loads through the ball joint and into the housing, reducing stress on the part itself.
Installation help
Adding to the difficulty of installation are multiple manufacturing variations with Straight-Axle and Twin I-Beam designs. As a result, installing the part incorrectly is an unfortunately common occurrence. Be sure to follow Moog's installation procedures for this part to avoid any problems. If you have any questions about the manufacturing variations or the K8607T Front Lower Ball joint please call the DST customer service team!
