MetalCloak Duroflex Joint NVH Test | Best Jeep Control Arm Joint

In this MetalCloak video, we put several control arm joints through a controlled NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) comparison using a shaker table and seismometer to measure how much vibration transfers through each joint. The tests demonstrate how different joint constructions affect ride comfort and component longevity, and the results show that MetalCloak's Duroflex Joints—built with Kevlar-infused natural rubber—absorb more vibration than competing designs, offering superior dampening, smooth driving experience, and maximum articulation for your Jeep.

[00:54] We'll compare other joints on a shaker table that simulates the extremes of vibration that you could experience while driving on or off-road.

metalcloak control arm joint vibration test, seismometer shows dampening

[01:02] This seismometer will show how much vibration is transferred. Test results will be recorded to compare the results on this graph to illustrate the differences. The smaller the number on the seismometer means less vibration and harshness is transferred, equaling more comfort. The larger number translates into less comfort.
