MOOG K500169 Rear Upper Ball Joint 02-05 Explorer Aviator Mountaineer

Restore proper rear suspension movement and stability with the MOOG K500169 Rear Upper Suspension Ball Joint. Designed for select Ford Explorer, Lincoln Aviator, and Mercury Mountaineer applications, this direct-replacement ball joint installs in the rear upper position and fits either the driver or passenger side.

The K500169 features a press-in design engineered to provide application-specific fit and proper suspension articulation. MOOG uses precision tolerances and durable internal components to help reduce looseness and restore proper suspension performance when replacing a worn original ball joint.

A worn rear ball joint can contribute to suspension noise, looseness, alignment problems, uneven tire wear, and reduced handling stability.

Fits 2002-2005 Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer models and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator models equipped with applicable 16-inch or 17-inch wheel configurations. One ball joint is included; two are required to service both sides of the rear suspension.
