What is a Moog Problem Solver Ball Joint?
Moog Problem Solvers are designed to fix flaws in original manufactured ball joints to provide a better performing, longer lasting alternative to original replacements or inferior aftermarket options.
A Better Replacement for a Worn Ball Joint
Ball Joints are a wear and tear suspension component and while they can last a long time the ball joints on many high mileage vehicles will wear down and become loose which results in steering wander and uneven tire wear. In some cases this is unavoidable; the ball joints just have a rough job and their inner workings are ground down over time. But sometimes the original ball joint isn't manufactured with longevity in mind and some improvements to the design could be made that would improve the quality of the ride and the longevity of the part. Thats where Moog Problem Solver Ball Joints come in.
Benefits of a Moog Problem Solver
The engineers over at Moog take a look at some of the original ball joints that have problems that could be improved upon and they do just that - improve them. This can be as simple as adding the ability to better maintain the part with a greaseable design or more in-depth changes like replacing some plastic components with durable metal. What you end up with is a Moog Problem Solver that has been shown through testing to last up to 5X longer than other aftermarket replacement options.
