Moog Ball Joint K80759 for control arm

[jimmy154]

Some websites say this ball joint can only be used for 06-08, some say 05-08, some say only 06-07. I have an 2005 so I would like to think it can be used for my '05, since 05-08 Pacifics all have the same control arms or so I thought.

Jimmy, I've been thinking of getting that K80759 too. I just was not sure if you can just pop-out that old ball joint. I've been told by PepBoys that it's all one piece. Do you know if you can pop the ball joint only and reuse the arm.

On my '05 Pacifica it is not all one piece, I'm almost positive. But the reason some websites specify the joint in question as usable for an '05 maybe be because they changed the control arm design in '05. Or I was also thinking that maybe it is not removal, even though mine seems to look like it is. Maybe they welded or glued it, I don't know.

Cheapest place I found to get the ball joints is Auto Parts Tomorrow | ACDelco, Bendix Brakes, Denso, Motorcraft and more
They are $17 a piece. So I got two and some front brake pads for $55 shipped because shipping was free over $50.
Most websites you don't even get two Moog ball joints shipped for $55.

The ball joint fit in my 2005 Pacific control arm. Looks like a decent quality ball joint. Took me awhile to figure out I could rent a ball joint press at Autozone for free. The bushings I could not find however. I had to pour/mold my own polyurethane bushings using Forsch liquid polyurethane. It took three time to get it right. Make sure you use the whole can and activator at once.
