New Moog Problem Solver Upper Ball Joint Eliminates Need to Replace Control Arm Assembly on Select Cadillac SRX, STS Models

Federal-Mogul’s Moog steering and suspension team has introduced an innovative Problem Solver upper ball joint that enables vehicle service providers to eliminate unnecessary replacement of complete control arm assemblies on thousands of Cadillac STS and SRX models.

Now available for 2005-2007 Cadillac STS and 2004-2007 Cadillac SRX models, the new Moog Problem Solver upper ball joint (part #K500065) is available as a separate component that can be easily pressed into the vehicle’s original control arm. The original equipment-design ball joint and other aftermarket units can only be purchased as part of a complete control arm/spring mount assembly, adding unnecessary cost to the repair.

The Moog K500065 upper ball joint features a premium resin-plated housing that helps prevent galvanic corrosion when paired with the vehicle’s aluminum control arm. Its greasable design and premium boot help ensure longer component life in even the most challenging operating conditions.

“Consumers are looking for the best value in every vehicle repair. The Moog engineering team has developed an exclusive problem-solving solution that helps cut the cost of the job while delivering a high-quality, long-lasting repair,” said Mark Boyle, director, steering and suspension products, Federal-Mogul.

Moog steering and suspension components are the leading choice of NASCAR crew chiefs and automotive repair professionals and have helped drive an unprecedented 45 consecutive NASCAR Cup champions to victory. The unique benefits of Moog products are highlighted in Federal-Mogul’s innovative “Smart Choice” campaign, which reinforces the message that longer lasting, better performing replacement parts are today’s best option for technicians and consumers.
