Fit my 2013 WRX w/ STI Control Arm
This ball joint fit my car perfectly and seems to be good quality. The rubber boot popped off of one of them while I was installing, which was super frustrating, but I was able to add some grease and get the boot back on, and reinstall the spring clip without too much trouble. I'm sure it was all user error anyway.You'll notice in the photo that I attached, that the old ball joint did look different. This is because I drive a Subaru WRX but the previous owner put WRX STI aluminum control arms on it, and the aluminum control arms require a steel cone called a "Boss Transverse Link" that fits between the ball joint and control arm. In order to get the steel cone off, I had to spend about 20 minutes wailing on the old ball joint with a pickle fork and a 4 pound sledge hammer. All of that just goes to say, if you drive an STI, don't worry if your old ball joint looks different, just take the time to get the old cone off and you should be good to go!

A struggle to fit, bolt that came with it was no good?
The joint itself is great. It's been in for a few thousand miles so far, and is holding up well. Of course, only years will tell how durable it truly is.Tips for install: Get an extra pinchbolt from Subaru. I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but the one that came with it didn't seem to thread in cleanly, and when I forced it, stripped all the threads off the bolt. I grabbed one from Subaru, and it went in just fine.Another tip for install: When you push the replacement ball joint up into the pocket for it in the Subaru, really clean the pocket out well - including the upper edge inside corner. The balljoint doesn't have much of a chamfer there, so it's really intolerant of dirt/debris/rust keeping it from seating fully. A wire brush, parts cleaner, and a paper towel helped a ton.Seems well made.

Good ball joints
Good ball joints. Have only driven a few hundred miles on them, but they look well constructed, come with new nut and cotter pin. Worth the price I would say now, I’ll see how long they last, but they look/feel very sturdy

Just installed today.
2015 subaru outback. Definitely buy the Subaru ball joint tool as well. I had a hell of a time trying to bang out the rusted socket on the ball joint. Ended up having to buy that specific tool($27). Made the job really easy. Also buy some rust penetrating spray. Spray on pinch bolt and around ball joint. I will update this post if the ball joint fails. Reddit reviews say Moog quality has gone down hill. Butall these reviews look promising. Buy the special tool! Happy holidaze!

Quality replacement
Used these to replace the ball joints on my 2006 Subaru WRX. Comes with all the hardware required to make a complete repair.I have used Moog on every vehicle that I've owned as an OEM alternative because the brand is not only affordable but has out performed the OEM parts. Excellent parts at affordable prices is what everyone wants.
