Heavy Duty Front Upper Ball Joint - Apex Chassis - BJ130K

This ball joint comes in both un-knurled and knurled Housing. This is the Knurled Housing version. For the un-knurled Housing, see our BJ130

How to Choose? For older trucks that the ball joints have been replaced in the past, or high mileage trucks, we recommend the knurled version. For newer trucks with the original factory ball joints, or low mileage older trucks, we recommend the un-knurled version (BJ130)

The Special Sauce:


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: Make our parts and bearings dimensionally perfect, eliminating any die wear issues.


Ball Studs


SAE 4140 hot forged Chromoly Ball Studs: For the strongest possible metallurgy.

Plunger Design Stud: Unique to Jeep and Dodge, allows up and down movement with no side-to-side movement.

Induction Heat Treated Ball Studs: Provides a very 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. This strengthens the threads instead of weakening them and allows for easy movement of Hardware. This ain't no Ikea furniture!

Step Threads : allows for very easy movement of Hardware on install and superior holding when torqued (installer choice).


Bearing Design


Carbon Bearing Design: Used mainly in Jeep and Dodge upper ball joints is the solver of all things wobbly. Like all of our product


Boots


CR Rubber Boots: The most durable material for undecar 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.


Finish


E-Coat Finish: Durable e-coat treatment.


Hardware


Grade 8 - Class 10.9 Hardware: Superior tensile strength

Castle Nut: Industry standard where high vibration loads occur.


Lubrication


Pre threaded Zerk Housing: If you have ever installed a MOOG Ball Joint without a pre-threaded zerk fitting you will understand what a simple but great feature this is. Another installer fav.

Greaseable: Because it should be.

Pre-Greased: Just in case you forget, we have you covered.

Zerk Fittings : Included for every application.
