🔧 MOOG K6145T Ball Joint: Enhanced Performance and Durability for Optimal Control Review

10,000 mile failure and loud squeaks. Had to use an oversized ACDelco ball joint to replace it as it wore out the ball joint cup in the control arm.

Fits 2000 Blazer S10 2wd. Time will tell if they are any better than 17 year olds. Bend the lower control arm while pushing it in, make sure you push well before installing it yourself.

MOOG is the best replacement hardware you can buy, bar none. NASCAR even uses it on race cars over 200 mph. Their line of "problem solvers" is top-of-the-line gear, it's innovative gear that's way better than OEM. Just visit their website and make sure the item meets your needs.

They run a bit big because I missed the description. They go in crookedly when using a clamp press and requires a pry bar to apply enough force to insert into the forearm. The risk of damage or spoilage is too great. Next time I'll take a smooth walking platform that's much easier to sit on.

MOOG parts are great replacement parts for everyday use. I've put extra stress on my high-performance joints and broken a pair off-road, but their design never resulted in complete failure. I've had this when riding off-road with people who replaced the pivots with stock components and ended up failing completely. A loose joint is better than a severed joint any day.

Do not buy these ball joints if you plan to do this job in your garage. Why ? They are oversized, no problem. They are rolled like a wheel bolt. "I couldn't fit them into the original handlebars with a 20 ton press. I'm sure a magazine with a larger press and a jig to keep the wishbone straight could slide them through with no problem. So I chose name brand ball joints for the house from a local parts store. still oversized but not knurled. They went straight in.
