THE ONLY JOINT ON THE MARKET WITH A
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, the Ballistic Joint
has been manufactured and designed for military use and quality. The Ballistic Joint meets all MIL-SPEC
standards.
The Ballistic Joint forged
from solid 4140 steel, the forging is then quenched, tempered and finally normalized
in a dedicated heat treating facility, providing yield strength of up
to 208,000 psi and a tensile strength of up to 238,000 psi! Because of
the strength capabilities of the Ballistic Joint, there is never any reason to
have to treat these cryogenically! The
Ballistic Joint is made right from all of the right materials!
Finish machining is
performed after heat treat to ensure a perfect fit.
Using Nylatron GS races
with nickel plated bearings; the Ballistic 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 of the Ballistic Joint uses a threaded spanner
nut and set screw for the absolutely strongest hold available!
We have added material
to the grease zerk / set screw area to add greater resistance to splitting,
making this issue virtually non-existent! Any play that might develop
over time can be removed simply 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 in 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. The Ballistic Joint offers 30 degrees total misalignment with a 9/16" ball.
All joints use billet (solid) races
for longer service life and greater impact resistance.

with assembly. If you would like us to assemble your joints you can also
