MetalCloak ball joints start with Chromoly Spindle & Ball with Induction Hardened surface strength that resists wear and provides a maximized bearing area to distribute force loads; the material gives superior ability to absorb energy without fracture over inferior materials.
Composite bearing sleeve slide over the spindle to handle shock loads and are the most resistant to deformation. Ball and spindle are both load bearing and utilize metal-on-metal strength captured with Tool Steel Races that eliminate memory steer and are long lasting.
Both upper and lower joints are adjustable for preload tension, have recessed zerk fittings for servicing and are sealed with multiple Buna-N Rubber O-Rings along with wiper seals on the shafts to keep contaminants out and grease in.
Aluminum lock nut and Thread on Top Cap capture the joints so there is no possibility of pulling the joints out of the C.
Anodized Red aluminum with Silver and Gold Zinc steel plated components highlight the quality and craftmanship and are sure to let others know you appreciate American Made quality and top notch performance. Sealed, Captured, Adjustable, and On-Jeep rebuildable; the last ball joints you will ever need.

Load Bearing Joints
Pre-load on upper Ball Joint diverts force-loads from the lower joint and shares the load between both pivot locations.
Thread Together Captured Design
Ball Joints press in from the bottom of the C then the Aluminum lock nut and Thread on Top Cap capture the joints so there is no possibility of pulling the joints out.
Shaft & Ball Benefits
MetalCloak ball joints start with Chromoly Spindle & Ball with Induction Hardened surface strength that resists wear with superior ability to absorb energy without fracture over inferior materials while providing a maximized bearing area to distribute force loads.
Bearing Races
The Concave Bearing Races are high impact shock resistant machined and heat treated S-7 tool steel with maximum surface contact to spread force loads, this allows more pre-load relief while still resisting memory steer.
