MOOG K9643 Front Lower Suspension Ball Joint for Honda Accord

I purchased this for a ball joint replacement job on a Honda Accord. Installation was rather quickly once the old one was removed.

Perfect fit, easy installation, no issues. Can always count on Moog. Will buy again for future maintenance.

Moog K9643 ball joint. I ordered this for my 2001 Acura CL. I decided to replace both upper and lower ball joints. Installation went as expected. I have used Moog parts for a few decades now and they seem to hold very well.

98 Honda Accord front lower ball joint. Worked great. Used a ball joint install kit along with an impact wrench. Seated perfectly.

Great fit, easy installation, exactly what item should be

I replaced my lower ball joint in 5/2017 with this MOOG ball joint on my 2001 Acura TL. The clunking sound came back about a year ago (2021) and just replaced it again with another one (10/2022). Clunking gone. It fits fine and does the trick. For ~$20 and my labor I suppose its not bad. Though I would have expected longer life from MOOG.

Moog has always been my favorite replacement ball joint. Works and replaces as expected. Note: When using air tools don't let the bolt on the ball side of the joint spin quickly or the BJ is gonna be trash as I found out after I spun it less than a few seconds. I felt the stuf on the joint and the joint wasnt even tight fitting anymore, and when held horizontally the stud would move from horizontal position to lowered 5 'o clock position. Needed to go out and buy another $45.00 BJ. One lesson I'll never forget.

** EDIT 2014-06-28** I see some poor reviews because the part does not fit your particular application. Amazon is mostly good with the fitment, but it is always a great idea to check the fitment yourself at the part manufacturers website. For this part, I used [...] to ensure fit for my vehicle before ordering, and that it was actually the lower ball joint, not the upper (the upper for my vehicle is the K90458 Moog K90458 Ball Joint ). Not sure how many of these I have replaced, but I would guess at least 4, maybe more. This is my second Moog, and it lasts longer (usually 40K+). I am not a boy racer by any means, I use this 19 y.o. Accord for commuting, car camping, etc. I cannot comment on performance suspension aspects of this item. however, for your "Joe Average" day-to-day user, this is the one I will keep coming back to. Sure there are cheaper ones, but I consider changing this to be a minor PITA, so it is a lot easier on me to change it a lot less than pay a little less! Let me know if this was helpful, gimme a click of the thumbs up or down! Thanks --Timo

Good fit Good quality

After installing the ball joint, found lubricant was leaking out from a pin hole puncture on the boot. Returned for refund was processed within a few busness days. Though it was inconvenience having to replace the ball joint twice.
