MOOG K9513 Front Lower Suspension Ball Joint for Subaru Outback

Finally installed them today, they fit nicely, well manufactured, good fit on the car. Car drives like new.

Excellent quality as expected from Moog. Perfect fit and solid construction. Improved steering response and feels very reliable.

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!

The joint itself is great. It's been in for a few thousand miles so far, and is holding up well. Of course, only years will tell how durable it truly is. Tips for install: Get an extra pinchbolt from Subaru. I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but the one that came with it didn't seem to thread in cleanly, and when I forced it, stripped all the threads off the bolt. I grabbed one from Subaru, and it went in just fine. Another tip for install: When you push the replacement ball joint up into the pocket for it in the Subaru, really clean the pocket out well - including the upper edge inside corner. The balljoint doesn't have much of a chamfer there, so it's really intolerant of dirt/debris/rust keeping it from seating fully. A wire brush, parts cleaner, and a paper towel helped a ton. Seems well made.

Functional

This grease fitting was a great value. It was easy to install. It was a direct fit and I am very impressed with this company parts so far

Looks stronger than other after market parts. Hope it lasts longer. Fit well for my 2010 Impreza.

Product works very good. The bolt head provided with it was a size larger than the factory bolt but it was no problem to just grab a larger socket to tighten it down.

Perfect fit

Good product

Excelente calidad.

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!
