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 Knuckle Assemblies carry a 3 Year or 36,000 mile Warranty (whichever occurs first). Above warranties are based on customers who own a car, van, SUV or light truck (less than 8,000 lbs. or 3,625 kilograms).
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.)

Front Lower Ball Joint - Moog K8695T
Worn Original Ball Joints
Trucks and SUVs put a lot of stress on ball joints because of the weight and use of these vehicles and design and materials used in a ball joint can accelerate the wearing down process. Some Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury trucks and SUVs have a reputation for needing ball joint replacements because of some design factors that cause them to wear out prematurely, like a plastic bearing and the lack of a greasable design.
Some of the symptoms of worn ball joints are clunking noises, vibration, and steering wander so if you're experiencing these symptoms of a bad ball joint then it's definitely worth checking them for play. If you do need a replacement then you could get another OE ball joint, but it will have the same problems as your originals.
Moog Problem Solver Ball Joints
For longer lasting ball joints you need better materials and a design that allows for grease maintenance for proper lubrication, and that's what you get with Moog's front lower ball joint for Ford trucks and SUV's.
By manufacturing their ball joint with a full ball metal stud you don't have to worry about your loaded down truck grinding away at a plastic liner. The grease-permeable gusher bearing and grease zerk fitting allows new grease to be pumped in and cover the entire inner surface, plus any contaminates that have made their way inside can be flushed out. The integral dust boot sits lower and has a wider range of motion without damaging the boot like the original design.
The Best, Longest Lasting Option
The benefits of going with this Moog ball joint over an original equipment ball joint are better performance over more miles. Hands down, they are just designed to last longer and Moog's Problem Solver Ball Joints have even been shown to last 5X longer than other leading aftermarket ball joint replacements.
So if you're looking for a ball joint that will perform better and last longer than your originals get Moog's K8695T front lower ball joint.
* If the housing for your ball joint has been worn out as well you should check out K8695T006 for an over-sized design that will fit better because of the wider housing diameter.
