Dodge Ram Upper Ball Joints

The ball joints start out as a chunk of 4130 chro-moly which is machined to our unique two tiered, internal grease port, patent pending design. The ball joint is then heat treated to a specified rockwell (hardness) that we have tested and set to make them able to withstand the meanest of beatings without showing any fatigue. From there the ball joints head to an aero-space lube company where a proprietary dry-lube is applied to our specified thickness. And of course we top them off with an accessible zerk fitting for easy servicing plus we even include a tube of high quality synthetic grease with each pair.

Dodge Ram Lower Ball Joints

Starting out from billet 4130 stock and CNC machined into a two-piece assembly, then case hardened, this truly is a bullet-proof component. The best part is the ride quality improvement over O.E.M. ball joints. The ball and socket on factory Dodge Ram Upper Ball Joints is separated by a plastic break-away that under severe stress, deflects.

  By removing even .0625 inches of deflection times two axle ends omits 1/6" of an inch, or more, of ball joint deflection. You can feel it in the steering wheel. 35 and 37 inch tires, more stress and off-road impacts only exaggerate the movement, and subsequently, its affect. Your truck feels tighter and the steering wheel goes numb, even over pot holes and rail road tracks. The secondary tire movement, once eliminated, gives you a more controlled feel. Sometimes when you hit a sharp lip on the street, it feels like you hit two bumps, that aftershock is the tire's secondary movement from O.E.M. lower ball joint deflection.
