Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Top-Quality MOOG K7411 Ball Joint - Durable and Reliable Performance by Jason Dennis

Revainrating 1 out of 5

BOOTS are a JOKE! - Replacement parts

As with some other reviews, my boots are falling off, pre-assembly. While Moog usually makes very good parts, they left out the "ball joint" on this one. There appears to be a small lip on the top wellie and that's all it's supposed to hold on to. Obviously not working. For those of you who didn't experience this before or during the install, I would look there. In humans, this was when adding lubricant. Even though such offensive lubrication adds to the torture, it's obvious that they need some sort of sealant to better hold the upper. The bottom part where the label on the shoe says "in" is only for the shoe as it is a grease drain hole and has nothing to do with the ball joint itself. Saw a reviewer using JB Weld and was curious how it held up. My concern with JB, important as it is for many projects, is that it's hardening. With a welly that flexes as intended, I'm not sure how well that would work. I might try a bedding compound like 3M 5200 as it's bulletproof, flexible and designed to even seal underwater so it holds up better. I'm not sure and very angry that I even have to deal with this. Yes I could send it back but I don't have time to wait for new parts while the car is being disassembled. Who? Shame on Moog for that crappy design. My recommendation, even if you are using a Moog part, is to buy locally or buy from another manufacturer. At least I could then take it back and grab another one quickly, or at least faster than Revane.
