CARQUEST Greaseable Design

  • Greaseable design works with the patented domed cover plate design
    and premium boot to keep contamination away from the socket assembly.
     
  • Porous powdered-metal bearings hold grease between the ball and
    the bearing.
     
  • Grease grooves in the ball or bearing (depending on application) allow grease flow to critical areas to ensure lubricated movement and to keep contaminants and wear to a minimum.
     
  • The flow of fresh grease is directed across the bearing surfaces, displacing any accumulated debris away from the ball and bearing assembly.
     
  • The grease-relief valve in the boot shuts out moisture and debris, while ensuring proper fill levels by releasing excess grease away from vital brake components.
     
The combination of powdered-metal gusher bearing, grease grooves on the full-ball stud and grease-relief valve on the boot allows the proper amount of clean grease to fully lubricate the components (left).

Competitive Comparison
  
   Premature Failure / Excessive Play / Joint Separation
  • Non-serviceable socket design is unable to flush away contamination entering into the
    socket assembly.
     
  • Contamination remains in the assembly, causing corrosion and
    accelerated wear.
