The patented cover plate design ensures tighter tolerances compared to traditional designs, resulting in a more durable part with an extended lifespan. With a full ball metal stud, these joints provide 360 degrees of smooth rotational movement, contributing to more responsive steering and improved vehicle handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Belleville washer preload design minimizes axial clearance while providing lower torque and stud articulation, which enhances overall performance. An oversized housing design ensures a secure fit, addressing potential issues with loose ball joint fit in the control arm. Additionally, the greasable socket design allows for the introduction of new lubricant, effectively flushing contaminants and reducing corrosion and wear, thereby extending the life of the component.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003ePowdered Metal Gusher Bearing Design Enables Grease To Flow Through The Bearing To The Stud For Reduced Friction And Enhanced Strength And Stability\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003ePatented Cover Plate Design Allows For Tighter Tolerances Versus Traditional Cover Plate Designs, Providing A More Durable And Extended Life Part\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eFull Ball Metal Stud Provides 360 Degree Of Smooth, Consistent, Rotational Movement Resulting In More Responsive Steering\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eBelleville Washer Preload Provides Lower Torque And Stud Articulation With Minimal Axial Clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eAn Enlarged Ball Joint Receptacle In The Control Arm Can Cause A Loose Ball Joint Fit\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eDesign Includes An Oversized Housing For A More Secure Fit\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eGreasable Socket Design Allows New Lubricant To Flush Contaminants From The Assembly, Reducing Corrosion And Wear\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eManufacturer: Moog Chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eManufacturer Part Number: K500135\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eHousing Type: OEM\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eAdjustability: Non-Adjustable\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eGreasable: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eRebuildable: OEM\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eApplication: OEM\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eIncludes Dust Boots: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eQuantity: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility \/ Fit\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e2001-2008 Ford Escape\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e2001-2006 Mazda Tribute\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e2008-2008 Mazda Tribute\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e2005-2008 Mercury Mariner\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n","brand":"NTP-Stag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47266983313647,"sku":"M12K500135","price":104.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1583\/3619\/files\/K500135_P01_BAC.jpg?v=1767377830","url":"https:\/\/www.sprinterpartsdepot.com\/products\/moog-ball-joint-problem-solver-k500135","provider":"Sprinter Parts Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
