Replacement & Maintenance Guide

Helpful replacement and maintenance guidance for Suspension Ball Joint.

SystemSuspension / Steering
Description / What It DoesA ball joint connects the control arm to the steering knuckle and lets the wheel move up/down and steer smoothly. Worn ball joints can cause clunks, wandering, uneven tire wear, and in severe cases wheel separation.
Replace / Inspect GuidanceInspect at least every 12,000 miles or annually; replace immediately if there is looseness, torn boots, grease loss, or noise. Many wear out around 70,000–100,000 miles.
Job DifficultyModerate to Advanced DIY
Maintenance TipsGrease serviceable joints at oil changes, keep boots intact, and get an alignment after replacement when required.

    Installed these on our 2006 Honda Pilot. Beware, you'll need a pretty beefy hydraulic press to remove the old ones and press in the new ones. These ball joints are very well made and have a unique grease system (see the Moog website). I would definitely buy them again.

    Make sure you get a ball joint press that will work with the Aspen...the one I rented did not and ended up just pounding the living crap out of it to get it out...not fun, but did the job.TIP: When you install the grease fitting, it works out well it you point it towards the inner front to make it easier to grease.

    Great product, exact fit, just be careful putting the dust boot on. I had to press it on and when I took the press off the first time I ripped the boot; couldn't figure out any other way to get it on. I haven't found the boot for sale just by itself so I am now the proud owner of a second UBJ just so I could get the boot (can you do something about that Moog?). Also on the boot it is marked for which side goes on the inside, so keep an eye out for that. Pressing the UBJ in is a huge pain in the butt, so be ready for that. One of the UBJs I ordered was missing the zerk fitting, but I ordered it from the warehouse deals side so I can't blame it on Moog, I guess AutoPartsWAY didn't notice the missing piece when it was returned. Also the zerk fitting is a weird size, went through two different packs of zerks and none of them fit on there. Had the UBJ on for about a month now, did some light offroading, very pleased.

    Fit my 97 Forester perfectly.A tip for separating the ball joint from the hub.Loosen and remove the hub thru-bolt that secures the ball joint into the hub. With the car safely on jack stands and supported, jack the control arm up at the ball joint stud. Slip the largest socket that will fit between the widened opening due to jacking the control arm up, between the knuckle and the control arm/ball joint. once the socket is in that recess, lower the jack, the spring tension in the suspension will pop the joint loose and allow you to pry it the rest of the way out.Watch youtube videos for specifics. Using this method these installed in under an hour. They came with new hardware too.Don't skimp on some flybynight chinese import parts. Spend the few extra coins and grab these moog joints.

    Great product, fit perfectly. I did have a issue with the boot. The upper ball joint boots pressed right on after installing. I used my 60 ton press and a bearing race fixture to press the boot. This lower ball joint boot would not seat at all not matter what I tried. So I ended up putting silicon around it except on the back. That way any excess grease will blow out the back away from the brake disc. The upper ball joint I can understand why it is not pressed on at the factory because the joint is screwed into the upper control arm, then the boot is installed. The lower ball joint does not have that issue so it should be pressed on at the factory. Years ago they were - in the 70s

    I did 2 months before I sold my envoy and it made the car handle like new. My shocks at this point was about 1 to 2 years old, with less than 10k miles, I would recommend if you have the money to replace this with the shocks. It is also grease-able so you can grease it every year and it will last a lot longer than the non serviceable ball joints.

    These are the exact fit for my '09 Z71 Colorado, replaced uppers at same time, huge difference (better) in handling, braking, everything. Truck only has 42thou. Miles, but it's a V8 4x4, stock ball joints where pretty tired. You will have to loosen the axle drive nut and pound the axle towards center of truck enough to clear lower ball joint.. Brass drift or large gear puller may have to be used, again just enough to clear lower ball joint, DO Not have to remove axle completely from hub. Plan on replacing all chassis/suspension parts with Moog, I'm that impressed.

    Fit my 2004 Ford F150 4x4. Great quality at a terrific price. The zerk fitting is a nice addition to keep it properly lubricated. The removal and installation was not too difficult with my cordless impact wrench and a ball joint removal kit I borrowed from Advance Auto Parts. The impact wrench is a must as it would not have been fun with a regular wrench or ratchet. Highly recommended.

    Tip for installation on 2002 Civic EX Coupe (other body styles and trim probably the same):The grease fitting with elbow will not clear axle. Remove the nipple valve from the elbow and install that directly onto the ball joint. This will allow you to connect the grease gun and properly grease the ball joint and will clear the axle by a few mm.

    was exact replacement for my 94 f150 2wd 5.0 xlt. Have been using now for 7 mths and have had no problems or issues with them. The Zerk fittings are a little cheap for my liking but, Zerk's are nothing different that any other brand. The ball joints seemed heavier and better quality than the ones offered at part store. I replaced uppers and lowers on both sides all at once. Shipping was on time and packaging was good too!.

    I ordered a pair of these. One was made in Japan and had no grease fitting, the other was made in US and did have a grease fitting both seemed like good quality, much better than the AutoZone POS that I replaced twice in 20,000 miles. Be interesting to see if US or Japan lasts longer.

    Very Nice Ball Joint for 2002 Honda Civic LX. For easy install go to AutoZone and use their loan-a-tool program, if you do not own a Hydraulic Press. They have the Manual Press part number 27023 and you will also need the correct adapter kit for your vehicle, also available on the loan a tool program. Check out gear wrench model 3916D for a high quality ball joint separator and changing these out will be painless.

    Perfect upgrade for my nissan titan lower ball joint. Can't beat Moog quality. Install fitment was just fine. I am happy it comes with a new pinch bolt. As they should be replaced when ball joints go out.

    Fit was a bit snug but I blame that on the knuckle, not the ball joint, as size was the same as the old one to my eye. I didn't take the time to mic it since I was able to get it fully seated after cleaning the knuckle mounting area with emery cloth and using some chassis grease to help ease the installation. Replaced the other side with one of these earlier this year and so far it's holding up great, so I ordered the same part for this side.

    Half the price of local stores. Quality looks good. Install directions really didn't explain too much but it's a ball joint so it should be self explanatory right? Except the snap ring on the top was 3/16 of an inch above control arm which I would of thought it would sit against the arm and also the grease fitting placement was in line with the snap ring so the grease gun tip could not be put on the fitting. I ended up using the short fitting from the upper and bending the snap ring to fit the groove in the ball joint. I made it work. I don't understand how other people used the longer grease fitting.

    FOX THUNDERBIRD:I have a 1984 Fox TBird. These are the correct ball joints for the Fox-Birds. Fox-Bird ball joints are slightly taller than some of their Mustang cousins, which can cause some confusion. Do not use ball joints that are not the same height and width as the ones that were originally installed with your spindle/hub assembly or your may experience both figurative and literal pain.Unfortunately, Fox-Bird ball joints being taller than standard means that the ball joint press you rent from the local parts store will not help you. Unless you have access to a wider press, it is not worth your time, tears, and fingers to do this yourself.Also, if you are doing the ball joints, you probably ought to do the bushings, which are impossible without a press, torch, AND a fair amount of time. Your best bet is to either: 1) Return the ball joints and bushings you've bought and get the pre-assembled control arm set from Late Model...
