MOOG K9513 Front Lower Suspension Ball Joint for Subaru Outback

This ball joint fit my car perfectly and seems to be good quality. The rubber boot popped off of one of them while I was installing, which was super frustrating, but I was able to add some grease and get the boot back on, and reinstall the spring clip without too much trouble. I'm sure it was all user error anyway.You'll notice in the photo that I attached, that the old ball joint did look different. This is because I drive a Subaru WRX but the previous owner put WRX STI aluminum control arms on it, and the aluminum control arms require a steel cone called a "Boss Transverse Link" that fits between the ball joint and control arm. In order to get the steel cone off, I had to spend about 20 minutes wailing on the old ball joint with a pickle fork and a 4 pound sledge hammer. All of that just goes to say, if you drive an STI, don't worry if your old ball joint looks different, just take the time to get the old cone off and you should be good to go!

I like to use Moog parts. They are the best.

Fit a 2017 Outback as described. Castle nut, cotter pin and bolt included.

Used these to replace the ball joints on my 2006 Subaru WRX. Comes with all the hardware required to make a complete repair.I have used Moog on every vehicle that I've owned as an OEM alternative because the brand is not only affordable but has out performed the OEM parts. Excellent parts at affordable prices is what everyone wants.

My original ball joints had torn rubber boots after 188,000 miles and hardly any grease left in them. It would only be a matter of time before they were shot. You really should replace both when you do these. Spend a few bucks and buy or borrow a "pickle fork" to aid removal. Lots of videos on y*utube on how to replace these. Removing one or both bolts from the sway bar link will make it easier. These ball joints are not the cheapest, but I have used MOOG parts on over a dozen of my personal vehicles over the past 35 years and never had one fail. I have had cheap no-name eb*y or amaz*n chin*se alternatives fall apart within mere months on other car repairs. For the time and effort it takes to replace these ball joints, it is not worth buying junk parts only to have to do it again later. I hope this review helps you steer away from the "lowest denominator"alternatives.

Came in quick easy , everything packaged nicely and no problems with the product . Fit perfectly for my 2013 Subaru Impreza wagon .

Bought these lower ball joints to install on a friends Subaru, used to own an auto repair garage and used moog parts frequently they did not disappoint. They worked perfectly. Had everything I needed and did the job.

First off, "Moog Problem Solver" stamped onnthe inside of the ball joint had me trusting before I even attempted to install. But, solved the 'shimmy' my WRX had! I also appreciated the cotter pin instead of nylon locking bolt the Duralast on opposite side has. We will see which lasts the time! Good product from Moog!

Se nota el cambio

If your lucky enough to get your old ones out and clean the bores out with a dremel. These fit the soobies just fine and have lasted me a few years so far. Unlike buying a store brand such as OE Plus or Napa gold you know who makes these!
