Review on Enhanced SEO: MOOG RK620065 Control Arm with Ball Joint Assembly by Joe Bottomkent

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Fits a Jeep Patriot '09 but the (non-lubricated) ball joint failed within 12 months

The arm fits my Jeep Patriot '09 and works great on its own, but the included lower ball joint (LBJ ) has failed * within 12 months. Also note: This ball joint is NOT the typical re-lubricated version of MOOG, which surprised me, but I at least expected it to last longer. Also on the other side (RK620066) the same thing happened - LBJ was down for 6 months*. *By failure I mean frequent loud rattles and the mechanic strongly recommended replacing it, citing safety concerns. It's very rare for an LBJ to fail completely, but when it does it's a disaster, so play it safe and just keep driving around town until you can replace it.

Pros
  • Great product
Cons
  • Something different
