Problem Solver: K5208

GM Ball Joint wearing out?

Has your GM car or truck been experiencing some shimmying in the front end? Has your steering wheel had some extra play in it lately? What about your tires wearing unevenly? All of these issues are the result of lateral deflection, or in laments terms, the side to side movement of the ball joint. This is causing your ball joint to wear prematurely. Here at DST we understand that this is frustrating and would like to introduce to you the solution to these problems, Moog part number K5208.

OE Design Problem

These vehicles often exhibit high lateral loads in turns that are transferred to the upper ball joints, causing excessive lateral deflection. This leads to creating more stress and wear than what was initially intended for these ball joints to handle. If this goes on unchecked your ball joints can break and cause you to spend even more time and money to repair your vehicle.
