Review on MOOG Chassis Products K9609 Joint by Jeff Richardson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Moog brand always the best

and I spent another $30 sigh* This part was the last necessary replacement before leveling the vehicle. The driving experience is completely different, if I turn the wheels to the maximum, the cracking that I published earlier is gone. This is the second time I have replaced this ball joint and the first time I have been replaced by a mechanic who installed a cheaper branded ball joint that does not work on this vehicle, which is sometimes subjected to heavy off-road loads has long held duty. . It's fair to say that the Moog brand looks more solid and even the lock ring requires a special strong tool to expand and install it into the channel - I had to use heavy duty ratcheting lock ring pliers - while with another brand you can just use a screwdriver to pull out the locking ring. The car runs like new right after adjustment and I expect many years of good service with this new Moog ball joint.

Pros
  • STRENGTH AND DURABILITY -- Ball studs are heat treated to meet or exceed OE requirements to prevent premature failure and increase fatigue strength
Cons
  • Not bad
