sorry i checked the box again and the part #k8142 like mavaholic said........but now im confused if that is a moog number why is it the same munber as masterpro????????
Moog has been around for a long time. A lot of knock offs will use brand name part numbers to make it easier to sell.
used the balljoints i bought with a little perswasion worked ok.......drove it today was pleasentlly surprised at the difference new a-frame bushings and balljoints made....still need to get it to the aliginment shop this week though....
Those fittings that Maverick73 showed are for the control arm bushings , not the BALL JOINTS.They can be bought at auto krafters and this means you dont have to cut holes in your shock towers to grease the control arms. If you have a hole in the side of the control arm where the ball joint goes ,then a straight grease fitting should work. Install ball joint first then grease fitting after boll joint bolts torqued down. I have replaced all front end stuff this winter and used MOOG as Dennis said and have had no problems. If they are not in blue MOOG boxes then as far as I'm concerned they are not moog parts. MY 2
Same thing happened to me... Went to replace the ball joints, bought one for each side -but when I got to the garage the two parts were clearly different. One had a zerg fitting where the other didn't and the flange was also thicker. The boxes had the same part number! I just went back and exchanged the retarded one. They were as confused as I was. shrug
When I got my Comet it already had holes in the shock tower and its definitely easier to grease. Other than keeping the engine compartment clean, whats the problem with drilling a small hole the size of a grease gun tip in the back of the shock tower? I don't see how a hole that small could affect the structural integrity of the shock tower, and in turn, the car itself.
