🏎️ High-Performance MOOG K80223 Ball Joint for Precision Handling Review

To be installed in the driver's seat lower ball joint. Honda will NOT ONLY sell the lower ball joint. They want you to spend over $250 on a whole new wheel assembly. They have a very high quality Astro Master ball joint removal kit and a set of about 10 other Harbor Freight receivers. The old Honda pivot is easy to remove and the Moog installs easily with a 1/2" impact wrench. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE ABS SENSOR from the wheel assembly.

I'm working on a 2005 Honda CRV AWD as a YouTube project and wanted to test the Moog ball joint in one of my steering knuckles to make sure they are as reliable as the Chinese ball joint I put in my other steering knuckle. . There was only one problem: I DID NOT UNDERSTAND YOU NEED TO ALIGN THE MUG JOINT! There were no instructions in my packaging. The only possibility I found was that the ball joint was pushed

Yes, I would look to Moog before anyone else. Bargain given the cost of a brand new factory spindle assembly (the thing that holds the wheel bearing/hub and bolts to the lower brace (shock)).
