Anyone know the deal on why Moog makes an OEM ball joint 0.006 oversized?
Not a guess... but actually why...
"MOOG K7467T006 {05086674AB, 5086674AA, 5086674AB}
Front Lower; Gear steering; Power steering; 0.006 (in) Oversize; OEM Type.
Again... DO NOT GUESS and say "wear". That is NOT the answer.
Is the oversize measurement in the ball joint shaft, or the overall diameter of the of the joint itself?
In either case, I would guess maybe they make it to compensate for flame wrench removal of the originals in salt country, or enthusiastic application of air hammers that distort, or "waller out" (Technical term) the hub or hub carrier.
