Additional Clearance
Made of thick 3/16” steel, the fully welded Bronco A-arms increase the suspension droop by providing additional clearance between the A-arm and the spring of the coil-over.
Durotrak A-Arms are built with additional caster with an adjusted camber curve for lifted applications from 1in to 3inches. MetalCloak's uni-ball upper control arms correctly re-align your Bronco to improve the overall handling characteristics of your lifted rig.
Heavy Duty Uni-ball
The Bronco Durotrak A-arms come with heavy duty uni-balls for a big upgrade over weak factory ball joints. The Uni-balls are made of 1 ¼” Precision Ground Heat Treated Hard Chrome Plated Teflon Lined Steel that greatly increases strength and durability.
The Uni-ball cup and pinch bolt system prevents play in the cup and bearing while still offering an easy to service set up without requiring removal of the A-arm.
Uni-ball Pinch Clamp
The Uni-ball is pre-installed and clamped into place. The Clamp makes it easy to service without a need for a press and the C-clip retainers in conjunction with the pinch clamps hold the uni-ball securely in place.
Billet Uni-ball Dust Cover
A Laser engraved "M" dust cover adds style and protection from the elements for an extended service life of the uni-balls
Durotrak Bushings
MetalCloak Bronco A-arms are equipped with the patented 2 piece Durotrak joints for excellent noise vibration and harshness dampening. The Patented Durotrak™ Bushing is made with a proprietary elastomer compound unique to MetalCloak.

IT ALL STARTS WITH THE BUSHINGS
The Patented Duroflex™ Joint ( metalcloakpatents.com) is the key to getting the greatest flex in a bolt-on suspension kit. Period.
MetalCloak has taken the best features of the most widely used control arm joints and combined those features to create the Duroflex Joint, producing a Low-Maintenance, High-Misalignment (34˚), Self-Centering, Rebuildable Joint with an OEM quality ride.
Now with Kevlar!
DuPont™ Kevlar® Fiber is now compounded in the proprietary elastomer of the Duroflex Bushing, bringing even more strength, durability and performance.
Kevlar® is a synthetic fiber with extremely high tensile strength to weight ratio…five times stronger than steel and commonly used in bullet proof armor applications.
Duroflex Bushings w/Kevlar® can be identified by the MetalCloak “M” located on the outer surface.
The Duroflex Joint Provides The Best Ride. Period.
Made of a Proprietary Elastomer Compound, the High Vibration Dampening and Self-Centering characteristics of the Duroflex Joint means you will always get...

High Misalignment...
By adapting the High Transverse Flex characteristics of a typical Flex Joint, the Duroflex Joint gives you...
