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 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). 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.
Wearable RUBBER parts are not covered under warranty (Dust boots, bushings, bump stops, etc.)
With all of the added durability in Moog's front upper ball joint it is unlikely that you'll ever have to replace this part again.
Grant Lewis- DST Parts GeekProblem Solver: K7392
Dakota or Durango Having a Rough Ride?
Tires been wearing unevenly lately in your Dodge Dakota or Durango? Maybe your front end has been shimmying? Or your steering wheel has too much play in it? If yes then the problem is your ball joint. In your Dakota or Durango, your ball joint's socket has started to wear due to the inability to flush out harmful road contaminants. Here at DST we know you care for your vehicle but that you also don't want to spend a lot of money to get it fixed. Moog has just what you need in their front upper ball joint K7392.
OE Design Problem
The OE design of your Dakota or Durango sockets aren't serviceable and therefore can't flush out the harmful road contaminants that can often get in the housing and cause it to wear quickly. The boot of the OE ball joint often times loses grease causing the bearing to also wear quicker, experience loose steering, alignment changes, and possible ball joint separation.
Moog' Solution
Moog has solved all of these problems you're experiencing in your Dakota or Durango's front upper ball joint with K7392. Moog's socket design features a polychloroprene sealed boot, with a grease relief valve that prevents the harmful road contaminants that cause premature wear. As compared to the OE design Moog's ball joint also features a greaseable design. The cover plate of this ball joint creates a better-sealed environment with its cover plate seating in a radial fashion against the housing. With a hardened powdered-metal bearing Moog's ball joint is not prone to the excessive wear that the OE design's plastic bearings are.
You'll Never Have to Purchase this Part Again
With all of the added durability in Moog's front upper ball joint it is unlikely that you'll ever have to replace this part again. However, if you do, there's no reason to worry because Moog offers a lifetime warranty on K7392 that our customer service folks here at DST can handle for you. With the added benefit of a lifetime warranty, you can purchase Moog's K7392 knowing, that you'll only have to pay for it once.
