Brake Pads

For vehicle safety, steering and suspension systems must be sound. Worn parts, especially steering and suspension parts, reduce a driver’s control over the vehicle. MOOG® chassis parts help eliminate these potentially dangerous conditions and restore a like-new steering feel for smoother driving.

Symptoms of Wear

Scrubbed tires indicate the wheels have incorrect toe

Parts to check are the idler arm, strut rod bushings, tie-rod ends, pitman arm and center link.


• Cupped tires are symptoms of incorrect camber

Parts that could be worn and ready to replace are the ball joint, coil springs and control-arm bushings. Cupped tires may also be a symptom of frame fatigue.


• Uneven tire wear suggests that the alignment is loose or
   parts are worn

Check for loose wheel bearings, loose ball joints and worn bushigns. Make sure the wheels are balanced, and inspect the shock absorbers.


• Variable tire wear indicates the tires are improperly
   inflated

Overinflated tires have excessive wear in the center; underinflated tires have excessive outer wear. Make sure tires are inflated to the proper pressure.
