Product Details

This MOOG suspension ball joint is engineered for front lower applications on vehicles such as the Ford Explorer, Ford F-150, and Mercury Mountaineer. The K8695T uses a powdered-metal gusher bearing that allows grease to reach bearing surfaces, along with a pre-installed integral dust boot to simplify service work. It is a direct-fit replacement for many OE-style front suspension repairs and cross-references Beck/Arnley 101-6769 and Dorman OE Solutions 536-555 for the same application.
