MOOG Front Suspension Ball Joint K6445 Greaseable Metal Design

Description

Product Overview

The MOOG Front Suspension Ball Joint K6445 is built with a machined exterior and a greaseable metal bearing that allows lubricant to flow directly through the bearing surface.

Weighing just 2.01 pounds and measuring 0.6 x 1.6 x 0.6 inches, the unit fits precisely into the original equipment location without modification. The patented pressed‑in cover plate seals out debris, while the heat‑processed ball studs meet or exceed OE requirements for fatigue strength.
