• Greaseable design works with the MOOG sealed bootto keep contamination away from the socket assembly.

• Porous powdered-metal bearings hold grease betweenthe ball and the bearing.

• Grease grooves in the ball or bearing (depending onapplication) allow grease flow to critical areas to ensurelubricated ball stud movement and to keep contaminantsand wear to a minimum.

• The flow of fresh grease is directed across the bearingsurfaces, displacing any accumulated debris away fromthe ball and bearing assembly.

• The grease-relief valve in the sealed boot shuts outmoisture and debris, while ensuring proper fill levels byreleasing excess grease away from vital brake components
