The Apex Chassis KIT201K Super HD Upper And Lower Knurled Ball Joint Kit (One Side) is a complete ball joint kit to service one side of your Dodge Ram 2500/3500. Designed specifically for high-mileage and previously serviced trucks, these ball joints features a knurled housing design that ensures a tight, secure fit in worn knuckles. This 2-piece kit includes one upper and one lower ball joint, making it an ideal solution for restoring steering precision and eliminating unwanted play in your front suspension.
Knurled Housings: The preferred design for aftermarket installations.
CNC Machined Housing: Makes these parts and bearings dimensionally perfect, eliminating any die wear issues.
Induction Heat Treated Ball Studs: Provides a very precise heat treatment to the exact depth and location we want it.
Polished Ball Studs: Are built like an anti-friction bearing with extremely precise tolerances.
Rolled Threads: Are made by pressing the shape of the threads into the ball stud instead of cutting. This strengthens the threads instead of weakening them and allows for easy movement of hardware.
Step Threads : Allows for very easy movement of hardware on install and superior holding when torqued.
Lower: Military Grade Acetal Bearing: This material is: dimensionally stable (doesn't expand or contract with hot or cold, water or oil absorption), it can be polished smooth as steel, is anti-friction, Doesn't wear itself out under load like metal on metal, and can take an absolute pounding.
Internal Seal Boot: The boot is coined onto the ball joint, for superior sealing against contaminants.
Castle Nut: Industry standard where high vibration loads occur.
Greaseable: Because it should be.
Pre-Greased: Just in case you forget, we have you covered.
Gull Winged Grease Grooves : Allows for improved lubrication disbursement around the ball stud.
Zerk Fittings : Included for every application.
HOUSING:
SAE 1045 Solid Steel Forged Housing: This is unequivocally the best carbon alloy steel for this application.Knurled Housings: The preferred design for aftermarket installations.
CNC Machined Housing: Makes these parts and bearings dimensionally perfect, eliminating any die wear issues.
BALL STUDS:
SAE 4140 Hot Forged Chromoly Ball Studs: For the strongest possible metallurgy.Induction Heat Treated Ball Studs: Provides a very precise heat treatment to the exact depth and location we want it.
Polished Ball Studs: Are built like an anti-friction bearing with extremely precise tolerances.
Rolled Threads: Are made by pressing the shape of the threads into the ball stud instead of cutting. This strengthens the threads instead of weakening them and allows for easy movement of hardware.
Step Threads : Allows for very easy movement of hardware on install and superior holding when torqued.
BEARING DESIGN:
Upper: Carbon Bearing Design: Used mainly in Jeep and Dodge upper ball joints is the solver of all things wobbly. Like all of Apex Chassis productLower: Military Grade Acetal Bearing: This material is: dimensionally stable (doesn't expand or contract with hot or cold, water or oil absorption), it can be polished smooth as steel, is anti-friction, Doesn't wear itself out under load like metal on metal, and can take an absolute pounding.
BOOTS:
CR Rubber Boots: The most durable material for undercar applications. Resistant to deterioration from road level ozone, oil/gas/engine fluids and extreme heat or cold.Internal Seal Boot: The boot is coined onto the ball joint, for superior sealing against contaminants.
HARDWARE:
Grade 8 - Class 10.9 Hardware: Superior tensile strengthCastle Nut: Industry standard where high vibration loads occur.
LUBRICATION:
Pre-Threaded Zerk Housing: If you have ever installed a Ball Joint without a pre-threaded zerk fitting you will understand what a simple but great feature this is.Greaseable: Because it should be.
Pre-Greased: Just in case you forget, we have you covered.
Gull Winged Grease Grooves : Allows for improved lubrication disbursement around the ball stud.
Zerk Fittings : Included for every application.
