Use the Apex Chassis TR137 Outer Tie Rod End from XDP when rebuilding the steering system on your 2003-2010 Dodge Ram 2500/3500. The SAE 1045 Solid Steel Forged Housing is the most suitable carbon alloy steel for this application. APEX's CNC Machined Housing ensures dimensionally perfect parts and bearings, eliminating any die wear issues. APEX uses SAE 4140 hot-forged Chromoly Ball Studs for the strongest possible metallurgy. APEX's Induction Heat Treated Ball Studs provide precise heat treatment to the exact depth and location we want it. Rolled Threads are made by pressing the shape of the threads into the ball stud instead of cutting, strengthening the threads and allowing for easy movement of hardware.
Step Threads allow for easy movement of hardware on install and superior holding when torqued. Their Rugged Metal to Metal Bearing design ensures durability. They use CR Rubber Boots, the most durable material for undercar applications, resistant to deterioration from road level ozone, oil/fuel/engine fluids, extreme heat, or cold. Accordion Boot is ideal for high-articulation components, providing more flexibility and longer life. We use a Phosphate Finish, extremely durable and double-coated, with threads also coated for a rugged look. APEX's Grade 8 - Class 10.9 Hardware ensures superior tensile strength. Apex uses Castle Nuts, an industry standard where high vibration loads occur. Their pre-threaded Zerk Housing is a simple but great feature that makes installation easier. Apex ensures that their ball joints are greaseable and pre-greased, just in case you forget. Their Gull Winged Grease Grooves allow for improved lubrication disbursement around the ball stud and also include Zerk Fittings for every application.
