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.
