MOOG parts come greased from the factory, but should also be greased at the time of installation. After installation, MOOG recommends greasing these parts at each oil change for the best service life.
Out of grease? No problem we've got you covered with this Mystik High Temp Multi-Purpose Grease tube refill.
lock Warranty Information keyboard_arrow_down
Moog fulfills their warranty through their individual dealers. That means that in order to receive warranty support, you will have to refer back to the original dealer you purchased the part from. Be sure to check the dealer's warranty support before you buy the part to make sure that they will properly support the warranty. If a dealer will only refer you back to the manufacturer in order to receive warranty support, then you may not actually have any warranty at all.
Part of our warranty process includes reviewing evidence of the defect provided by the customer. This is easily accomplished by providing video or images of the defective part so our staff can verify the claim and move forward with the warranty process. This removes the necessity of shipping the part back to our facility at the customer's expense.
WARRANTY:
Moog Premium Steering Components carry a Limited Lifetime Warranty. Moog R-Series Control Arms, Hub Assemblies, and Knuckle Assemblies carry a 3 Year or 36,000 mile Warranty (whichever occurs first). And Moog CV Axles carry a 2 Year Warranty. Above warranties are based on customers who own a car, van, SUV or light truck (less than 8,000 lbs. or 3,625 kilograms).
Moog warranties their parts to be free of defects in materials and/or workmanship during these timeframes as measured from the date of purchase.
If a Moog part should fail due to materials or manufacturing defect while under warranty, we will provide a replacement of the part upon return of the defective part.
Limited to ONE replacement during guarantee period
Wearable RUBBER parts are not covered under warranty (Dust boots, bushings, bump stops, etc.)
Front Upper Ball Joint | 1994-1999 Dodge Ram 2500
The ball joints' job is to let the wheel move to accommodate different changes while driving, like turning sway, road angles, and bumps. Trucks like the Ram 2500 go through many things that break down ball joints, like dirt, heavy loads, debris coming into the joint, and general wear over time. As ball joints wear down, you might notice things like steering issues, clanking noises, and uneven tire wear. The MOOG-k80026 Front Upper Ball Joint has features that prevent these issues from coming up, like its gusher bearing, heat treated stud, and greasable design, making this ball joint one of the best options for vehicles like the Ram 2500.
What Happens when a Ball Joint Fails?
This MOOG-Ball Joint is very helpful in fixing and preventing problems that a failing ball joint may cause. Heavy loads hauled by trucks and vans every day, dirt from gravel roads, and general wear and tear all wear down the vehicle's standard ball joints. Also, grease inside the joint drying out and debris getting into the joint can cause the ball joint to break down. When ball joints start to break down, the vehicle starts to feel sluggish in its steering, the tires start to wear out unevenly, and the wheels may also start to tilt. These problems can make driving the vehicle dangerous.
The Cost of the Damages
MOOG Ball Joints have many beneficial features that ensure the part is long-lasting and easy to manage. The ball joint has a heat-treated stud that is both strong and flexible at the same time. It allows the stud to resist breaking but be flexible enough to bend if the vehicle is in an accident. Also, the bearing makes use of a gusher bearing, a piece of metal that is slotted to allow for easy and long-lasting lubrication of the whole ball joint. Finally, it also boasts a greasable design that allows for the reapplication of grease whenever it is needed and lets the ball joint take much longer to wear out.
If you would like a ball joint that can resist the problems that vehicles like the Ram 2500 go through every day, order MOOG-k80026 Front Upper Ball Joint as soon as you can!
