MOOG ® Patented Thrust Washer Design

with integral anti-drainback valve

A thrust washer helps absorb axial loads and prevents galling.

The MOOG ® patented thrust washer design for medium duty,

heavy duty, off-highway and larger PTO joints incorporates an

exclusive anti-drainback feature.

The MOOG internal anti-drainback valve is integrated into the

thrust washer to control lubrication flow and prevent dry start-

up. Because it is integrated as a one-piece design into the thrust

washer, it cannot separate and allow grease to drain back or block

the flow of lubrication.

In addition, the MOOG reinforced nylon thrust washer material

stands up to extreme loads, eliminates metal-to-metal contact,

and lowers the operating temperature by reducing friction.

Galling on trunnion ends is also eliminated.

While centrifugal force will allow grease to enter the trunnion and

bearing cup during operation, an anti-drainback valve is required

on larger u-joints to keep the lubricant from draining back into

the cross of the u-joint when stationary.

An anti-drainback valve prevents dry start-up, which causes

excessive wear. Other suppliers may leave the anti-drainback

valve out to cut costs or provide it as a separate component in

the trunnion, where it may dislodge. If an anti-drainback valve were

to become dislodged, it will fail to function properly. The subsequent

draining and loss of lubricant in the bearing cup may cause

excessive wear at start-up and slow speeds.

Overview

Removal Procedure

Installation Procedure

MOOG ® Problem Solver ® sway bar link

kits* feature a 1" barrel lock nut, heavy

duty bushings (specially designed to

center the included coated washers

in place), and a strong T-6 aluminum

hex spacer. The robust design of the

MOOG Problem Solver sway bar link

makes it possible for an installer to

over-torque the barrel nut without

realizing it. So it’s important to follow

the specified torquing procedure.

* For more information on the design

of the Problem Solver sway bar

link kit, see MOOG Problem Solver

Bulletin 213006.

To remove the OE style sway bar link,

raise and support the vehicle at the

manufacturer recommended points.

Remove the OE sway bar link, following

manufacturer procedures, and discard

its components.

With the vehicle suspension at curb height, begin to install the sway bar link according

to manufacturer installation procedures.

1. Tighten the barrel nut until the bolt threads are flush

with the end of the hex nut, and the center hex spacer

cannot be rotated with two fingers.

2. Tighten the nut two more complete turns.

This will provide approximately two to three

threads exposed above the nut.

3. At this point, the sway bar link is properly torqued.

Note: Do not continue to tighten the barrel nut. To prevent overtightening of the

sway bar link, do not use air tools when installing the MOOG sway bar link.

See complete instruction sheet on reverse side.

Certain Dodge/Ram trucks and Jeep vehicles with solid

four-wheel-drive front axles use a telescoping upper ball

joint. The stud telescopes a small amount to compensate

for manufacturing variances in the tolerance of the axle

and knuckle ears. This telescoping effect may result in the stud appearing:

• As if it is too long, or too short

• As if it has excessive play

The stud is engineered to slide in and out of the housing.

This DOES NOT indicate excessive play or any other issue

with the part. This feature is necessary for correct part

installation and function.

NOTE: When this MOOG ball joint is installed and torqued to proper

specifications, it automatically adjusts to the required extended length.
