[00:04] Is it time to replace your ball joints because they're worn out or do you just want to do the best upgrades before they become an issue? MetalCloak's ball joint upgrade system are unrivaled and just what you're looking for.
[00:16] Hi, I'm Scott Becker with MetalCloak here to talk to you about our Heavy Duty Baller Joints for the Jeep JK Wrangler.
[00:24] Ball joints are often overlooked, but they are a very important part of any vehicle build.
[00:29] Found on the axle assembly of your rig, they help form a connection between the knuckle at the end of the solid axle and the pivoting hub assembly.
[00:37] Ball joints experience a lot of daily wear and tear, and if you're adding off-road use with bigger tires and armor on your rig, they're going to wear out even faster.
[00:47] And worn ball joints can cause premature wear on your tires and other front end components. Give vague or loose feeling in the steering, can cause shaking or shimmy feeling, and even go into the dreaded death wobble. And that is certainly unwanted.
[01:02] MetalCloak's Heavy-Duty Baller Joints comprise the best features contained in one package. This is the only ball joint that is upper and lower load bearing, fully sealed, captured, adjustable, and even in Jeep Rebuildable.
[01:18] Unlike the factory or similar parts, MetalCloak's Ball Joints are pressed in from the bottom of the C, keeping them from being pushed out if an axle fails.
[01:26] The upper ball joint has an aluminum lock nut and thread on top cap to capture the joint so there is just no possibility of pulling a joint out of the C.
[01:35] Upper and lower joints are pre-load tension adjustable, and this takes the force loads and divides them between both the lower and upper pivot locations.
[01:45] The upper position is not just a pivot, it actually helps support the load.
[01:50] This weight distribution gives our upgrade a much longer lifespan than typical ball joint or ball joint deletes.
[01:57] MetalCloak Ball Joints are built with induction hardened chromoly steel for the spindle and ball that resists wear and provides a maximized bearing surface to distribute force loads.
[02:07] The material gives superior ability to absorb energy without fracture over inferior stiff but brittle materials.
[02:15] Ball and spindle are both load-bearing and utilize metal on metal strength captured with hardened tool steel races that eliminate memory steer and are long lasting.
[02:26] MetalCloak Baller Joints have self tapping grease fittings for efficient 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.
[02:39] Finished in anodized red aluminum with silver and gold zinc steel plated components, it is easy to see the quality and craftsmanship and will let others know you appreciate American-made quality and top notch performance.
[02:53] So if it's time to replace your worn ball joints or you want an upgrade that's going to give you long lasting durable performance while giving you a secure, reliable and smooth ride, look no further than the MetalCloak Heavy Duty Baller Joint upgrade for the Jeep JK Wrangler.
[03:10] The only joints that is upper and lower load bearing, fully sealed, captured, adjustable and in Jeep rebuildable.
[03:19] MetalCloak, it's your Jeep, only better.
