What It Helps Address

• Uneven tire wear related to incorrect camber or caster settings
• Clunking or play from the front upper suspension area
• Steering pull caused by suspension geometry changes

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle fitment by year, make, model, and front upper position before installation. Because this is an adjustable ball joint, alignment should be checked and set after installation to confirm camber and caster are within specification. Hardware details are limited in the product data, so confirm any required fasteners or service parts before beginning the repair. MOOG K7452 is listed for multiple applications, including Hyundai Azera, Hyundai Sonata, and Kia Optima front upper suspension service.
