Moog or Lemforder lower ball joints?
Moog has a new design lower ball joint that eliminates the dust boot. I'm thinking of going with these on the 1984 300DT rather than the Lemforder design but I'm concerned they will fit properly.
"Moog Ball Joint housings are forged and/or machined from a single block of fine-grain alloy steel, providing unequaled strength and durability. Powdered-metal gusher bearings, with grease grooves, resist wear better than conventional designs. Moog's innovative approach allows grease TO flow through the bearing TO the stud AND provides a smooth, durable surface that extends service life.
Moog's design also transfers the load to the housing and provides strength and stability. Patented pressed-in cover plates minimize radial and axial deflection, securing a solid-steering feel. Moog uses premium polychloroprene and polyurethane — superior compounds that stand up to temperature extremes, dirt and abrasion — to seal the boots on our ball joints.
On select Moog ball joint applications there is a pre-installed integral dust boot. These ball joints look cosmetically different but maintain the same level of performance you come to expect from Moog Problem Solver. This product feature provides easier installation."
