Apex Chassis Extreme Duty Ball Joint Kit (1 Upper & 1 Lower) | 00-02 Dodge Ram 2500/3500

Features

• SAE 1045 Solid Steel Forged Housing: This is unequivocally the best carbon alloy steel for this application.
• Knurled Housings: No.
• CNC Machined Housing: Make our parts and bearings dimensionally perfect, eliminating any die wear issues.

• SAE 4140 hot forged Chromoly Ball Studs: For the strongest possible metallurgy.
• Induction Heat Treated Ball Studs: Provides a very precise heat treatment to the exact depth and location we want it.
• Polished Ball Studs: Are built like an anti-friction bearing with extremely precise tolerances.
• Rolled Threads: Are made by pressing the shape of the threads into the ball stud instead of cutting. This strengthens the threads instead of weakening them and allows for easy movement of hardware. This ain't no Ikea furniture!
• Step Threads : Allows for very easy movement of hardware on install and superior holding when torqued (installer choice).

• Upper: Rugged Metal to Metal Bearing.
• Lower: Military Grade Acetal Bearing: The same bearing material spec'd by the US military for Hummer ball joints. This material is: dimensionally stable (doesn't expand or contract with hot or cold, water or oil absorption), it can be polished smooth as steel, is anti-friction, Doesn't wear itself out under load like metal on metal, and can take an absolute pounding.

• CR Rubber Boots: The most durable material for undercar applications. Resistant to deterioration from road level ozone, oil/gas/engine fluids and extreme heat or cold.
• Pancake Boot.

• Upper: Phosphate Finish: Extremely durable. Double coated. Rugged look.
• Lower: E-Coat Finish: Durable e-coat treatment.

• Grade 8 - Class 10.9 Hardware: Superior tensile strength Tension Nut: Very strong hold in most applications.

• Greaseable:
• Lower: Yes.
• Upper: No.
• Pre-Greased: Yes.
• Gull Winged Grease Grooves :Allows for improved lubrication disbursement around the ball stud.
