MOOG Ball joint

Moog is fine. Just don’t use the moog ball joints and install Sankei 555 or OEM ball joints and you’ll be fine. I am running Moog Suspention and Sankei ball joints. 4 years no issues.

Pros: 4 years no issues

I use MOOG problem solvers replace and inspect them every 4 years. I can replace both sides in a little under an hour. I prefer MOOG’s design and like that they are greaseable over the sealed OEM design.

Pros: greaseable design, easy to replace

For Honda Accord/TL/TSX, all the aftermarket ball joints are junk. In my personal experience, Moog lower ball joints last 2-3 years, while most other brands will last a year or less.

Pros: Moog lasts 2-3 years
Cons: other brands last less
Vehicle: Honda Accord

MOOG Ball joint

Moog parts K80026.. Harbor Freight press. The ball joint is pre greased that’s why the end looks like that. Turns out the top joint was bad. Got a replacement & everything worked. Now the ABS light is turned on and off.

Pros: replacement worked, pre greased
Cons: ABS light on
Vehicle: Ford Excursion
Part number: K80026

Ive done this. That doesnt look seated. Isnt there a snap ring that secures that? How are you getting the pats in and out? I used a hydraulic press to get them apart, then used a Harbor Freight screw press to put them in. I think I had to clean up the holes with emery paper or a sanding drum and drill to get the joints to seat. I used Moog parts.

Pros: used screw press, cleaned holes
Cons: doesnt look seated, needs cleaning
Vehicle: Ford Excursion

I would just avoid MOOG. For about 5 years every moog item with a ball joint I've installed failed early, so I stopped recommending MOOG around the time COVID started.

Cons: failed early, poor reliability
