MOOG K8685 Front Lower Suspension Ball Joint for Mercury Grand Marquis

You can't beat Moog guality and performance. A little more expensive but just a little and you can see and feel the quality.

Fast delivery, top quality part at a great price

Fit perfectly in my 2001 Town Car. Really like the grease fitting. The boot is a b*tch to get on, but once it's on it's on! Great price on Amazon. Save hundreds and to this job yourself in your driveway!

The ball joint appears to be of good quality and was fairly straight forward to install to a point. As I was finishing the install I discovered the incorrect size castle nut was included with the ball joint. What looked to be a 14mm nut was included instead of the properly sized 16x1.5. I called Moog who basically said take it up with Amazon who wouldn't refund me unless I returned the already installed part. My only option was to go to a tire shop down the road who thankfully had the proper size in their scrap pile that they let me have so I could get my car back on the road.

works as it should

Good quality product in itself. They were easy enough to install and the rubber seal only needs to be installed hand-tight using a ball joint press. The biggest trouble, of course, is getting the old ones separated from the steering knuckles. Took me three days and lots of torching, spraying liquid wrench, and hammering to break the OE joints loose. These went together in no time.

i had them for 80k miles n my grand marquis i bought a new pair because i got new tires n i thoug i would need it when i was changimg my ball joints i find out da ones with 80k miles still was n good condition da ball joint was stif i can said same as da new ones. really good ball joints!

Perfect fit and works great.

Le quedó chica a mi Grand Marquis 99 lo más seguro es que sea mi horquilla inferior la del problema, la calidad de esta rotula es muy buen.

The media could not be loaded.  Original non greasable ball joints on 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis. So 24 years and only 115000 kms. Video shows front passenger side ball joint failure. So I decided to change driver side ball joint. Doesn't want to leave the car. So for now the Mercury Blues continues.

Buyer alert! Good looking joint but it leaked grease right through the rubber boot instead of at the grease relief port! Second boot direct from Moog did the same. Third boot taken locally from a new joint also leaked grease right through the rubber as if porous or cracked. Grease relief ports all dry as a bone, showing boots not over-greased. No grease ever reached there in any of the boots. All three boots (and joint) installed by professional (licensed) technician. Concern for stretching the tapered hole in the knuckle from repeated separation of the joint has lead to attempting repair with RTV instead of another replacement boot (and possibly another leak!). Repair holding for now but always the worry of how long the RTV will hold. I cannot be the only one having this problem. The boots came from three different sources. Moog must be aware of the problem but has not (yet?) addressed it. Until then: buyer beware and check your boots after greasing!
