Review on ⚙️ MOOG K9818 Ball Joint: Enhanced Performance and Durability for Optimal Functionality by Ryan Lindstrom

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Don't skimp on ball joints - take

Very high quality product. Installed them on the Nissan Maxima and the ride was very smooth. Don't waste your money on cheap ball joints. I've seen cheap ball joints start to fail after only 1 year of installation on a Honda Accord. Another high-end brand is Mevotech. The quality of the Mevotech Supreme line can even be surpassed. I didn't use a press to install them. I heated the control lever around the ball joint with an acetylene air gas torch and hit the bolt with a mallet. I did the same when installing new.i. heat around the hole. Quickly deploy the anti-seize ball joint and smack in with the stick. The only downside to this method is that you have to remove the entire wishbone, which is risky due to the rusty bolts to remove. Remember. Ball joints, outer tie rod ends, inner tie rods are the most dangerous parts that should not be ignored in a car. If they fail on a one-way street, death in a head-on collision can be inevitable. I was in a Honda Civic that had a broken bottom ball joint and the front wheel was completely lifted off the car.
