Review on Enhanced SEO: MOOG K80228 Improved Ball Joint by Ashton Dahmer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Moog makes great followers!

Update from 08/12/19. I had trouble threading the nut in after pressing in the new ball joint. There is no visible thread damage so I figured it was a factory defect. nope! Turns out it was my fault. The cup I used (with the large C-clamp) to press in the new ball joint was a few millimeters shorter. After hitting the bottom inside the cup, I pushed it further with one punch, deforming the tip of the ball joint where the threads start. What was supposed to be an afternoon job turned into a three-day ordeal. Live and learn lol. I used this ball joint on my 2005 Acura TSX and it works great. You cannot use a zirconia fitting for greasing/re-greasing because the ball joint is only a few millimeters from the axle's outer pivot once installed. I ordered three and they are great.

Pros
  • few competitors
Cons
  • unreliable
