The ball studs offered are made from SAE 4140 Hot Forged Chromoly for optimal metallurgy. The induction heat treatment process used provides precise heat treatment to the ball studs at exact depths and locations. Polished ball studs have anti-friction bearings with precise tolerances. Rolled threads are used for added strength by pressing the shape of the threads into the ball stud instead of cutting. Step threads allow for easy hardware movement on installation and superior holding when torqued. \n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThe upper carbon-bearing design is ideal for Jeep and Dodge upper ball joints. The lower military-grade acetal bearing material is specified by the US military for Hummer ball joints due to its stability, anti-friction properties, and durability. CR rubber boots are used to resist deterioration from road-level ozone, oil\/gas\/engine fluids, and extreme temperatures. The internal seal boot is coined onto the ball joint for superior sealing against contaminants. The upper has a durable e-coat treatment, while the lower has a double-coated phosphate finish for a rugged look. Superior tensile strength is offered by the grade 8-class 10.9 hardware, and the castle nut is an industry-standard for high-vibration loads. The pre-threaded zerk housing feature is a simple but useful addition, and all ball joints are pre-greased with included zerk fittings. The gull-winged grease grooves allow for improved lubrication disbursement, and the lower ball joints have custom features such as a side angle zerk housing with an extended zerk fitting for easier maintenance. This kit comes with the upper and lower ball joints to complete one side of the truck.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eBall Joint Housing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eSAE 1045 Solid Steel is unequivocally the best carbon alloy steel for forged housings that utilize the knurled design for aftermarket installations. Apex Chassis uses CNC Machined housing to make parts and bearings dimensionally perfect, eliminating any die wear problems.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eBall Studs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eFor the strongest possible metallurgy, these ball joints use SAE 4140 Hot Forged Chromoly Ball Studs. Induction Heat-Treated Ball Studs deliver extremely precise heat treatment to the precise depth and location Apex wants it. Polished Ball Studs are manufactured with extremely precise tolerances and Built like an anti-friction bearing. The threads are made by pressing the shape of the threads into the ball stud instead of cutting, thereby strengthening them and allowing for easy movement of hardware. These step threads offer superior holding when torqued down and allow for very easy movement of hardware upon installation.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eBearing Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eUsing the same bearing material spec'd by the US military for Hummer ball joints, these ball joints come with military-grade Acetal bearing. This dimensionally stable material doesn't expand or contract with hot or cold temperatures and does not absorb water or oil. The surface of this material can be polished as smooth as steel, offers anti-friction properties, can take an absolute pounding, and doesn't wear out under load like metal on metal.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eBoots \u0026amp; Hardware\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eCR Rubber Boots are some of the most durable materials for the underside of automotive applications. This material is resistant to deterioration from road-level ozone, oil, fuel, engine fluids, and extreme hot or cold weather. The upper ball joints use a pancake boot while an internal seal boot is coined onto the lower ball joint for exceptional sealing against contaminants. Superior tensile strength is offered by the Grade 8 - Class 10.9 Hardware and the castle nut is an industry standard where high vibration loads happen.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eLubrication\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eIf you have ever installed a ball joint without a pre-threaded Zerk fitting, you know what an outstanding feature this is.
