MOOG Front Suspension Ball Joint K6117T Greaseable Metal Design

Description

Product Overview

The MOOG K6117T front suspension ball joint is a precision‑engineered component designed to restore steering accuracy and durability. Constructed from high‑strength steel, the ball stud is heat‑processed to exceed original equipment (OE) requirements, providing superior fatigue resistance. The greaseable socket allows fresh lubricant to flow through the bearing surface, reducing friction and extending service life. With a smooth exterior and a patented pressed‑in cover plate, the joint seals out contaminants, preventing corrosion and premature wear. Dimensions measure 0.6 x 1.6 x 0.6 inches and the unit weighs 1.5 pounds, making it a compact yet robust replacement.

Usage

This ball joint is intended for front‑end suspension applications on a wide range of passenger cars and light trucks. It is ideal for drivers seeking precise steering response after wear or damage to the original joint. Whether you are performing a routine maintenance service, repairing a worn steering knuckle, or upgrading for improved handling, the K6117T fits directly into the factory mounting points without modification. It is suitable for both daily commuting and spirited driving, delivering consistent performance in all weather conditions.
