It is a steel, press-in replacement with a tapered stud and polychloroprene dust boot, made to match the service requirements of the original suspension layout.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products (e.g., K500286, K500286T005) for the same application.
Common Problems This Part Can Help Address
- Front-end clunking or popping from a worn lower ball joint
- Excessive suspension play or looseness in the front end
- Uneven tire wear caused by worn steering and suspension joints
- Steering wander or reduced directional stability
- Boot damage that exposes the joint to dirt and moisture
Installation Notes and Tips
Installation requires press-in service on the front lower suspension position. Inspect the control arm, surrounding hardware, and mating surfaces before installation, and verify the tapered stud and 16 mm wrench size match the vehicle service procedure. Because this is a non-greaseable design, routine lubrication is not part of service maintenance.
