| THE ONLY JOINT ON THE MARKET WITH AN
AVAILABLE LIFETIME WARRANTY*
MADE IN THE USA with USA STEEL
The 2.63" Forged Chromoly Ballistic Joint is made to be the ultimate in durability and ease of use. 100% made in the USA, this joint was manufactured and designed for military use and quality, and meets all MIL-SPEC standards. Forged from solid 4140 steel, the forging is then quenched, tempered and then normalized in a dedicated heat treating facility, providing a yield strength of 208,000 psi and a tensile strength of 238,000 psi! Finish machining is performed after heat treat to ensure a perfect fit.
Using Nylatron GS races with nickel plated bearings, these joints are smooth, long lasting and quiet. The 2.63" Ballistic Joint uses no snap rings to retain the races, instead a retainer is forged into the housing. The opposite side uses a threaded spanner nut and set screw. Also, we've added a lot of material to the grease zerk / set screw area to add a much greater resistance to splitting. Any play that might develop over time can be removed by adjusting the spanner nut. All forged joints are clear "silver" zinc coated.
Designed to be a drop-in replacement for lower control arms on TJ / XJ jeeps using the 9/16" bore. Also available is a 5/8" bore for added reliability and versatility. For those seeking a 3/4" bore, check out our 3.0" Ultra Duty Ballistic Joint. The Ballistic Joint is fully rebuildable and is the strongest joint on the market of it's kind. Offers 30 degrees total misalignment with a 9/16" ball.
Upgrade the Nylatron race from injection molded to billet (solid) for longer service life and greater impact resistance.
*LIFETIME warranty on 1.25" and 1.0" shank housings against breakage. Limited LIFETIME warranty on solid nylatron races with one free replacement. Joints with 7/8", 3/4" and injection molded races carry no warranty.
