Built for the front lower suspension location, MOOG K80281 is engineered for vehicles that need a replacement ball joint with straightforward installation characteristics and serviceable lubrication.

What It Helps Address

  • Front-end looseness caused by wear in the lower ball joint
  • Steering play or imprecise road feel
  • Suspension noise from a worn joint at the front lower position
  • Boot damage that can expose the joint to dirt and moisture
  • Service needs on 2003-2008 Honda Pilot and 2001-2006 Acura MDX front lower suspension

Installation Notes and Tips

MOOG K80281 installs as a press-in ball joint, so proper suspension service tools are required for removal and installation. Inspect the control arm, mounting bore, and surrounding hardware before assembly, and verify the cotter pin hole aligns correctly during final tightening. Grease the joint after installation if your service procedure calls for initial lubrication.
