Dodge Ram Upper Ball Joints

The ball joints start out as a chunk of specialty chosen material which is machined to our unique two tiered design and then heat treated to a specified rockwell (hardness). From there the ball joints head to an aerospace 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 ball joint set.

SPECIFICATIONS

  • Warrantied for life.
  • In leu of enumerating the materials, processes and design characteristics of our Upper Ball Joint, we're just going to stand behind this component for as long as you own it. If for any reason the performance of our Upper Ball Joint declines, we'll stand behind it. For the life of your purchase. After the finalization of the R&D process we are confident that this part will never fail.

Extensive testing on the ball joints through Carli Suspension's product research and development cycle is now complete. We have logged thousands of nasty dirt miles over the past year to ensure that this product would be everything you have come to expect from us. These new Extreme Duty Upper Ball Joints should yield a service life for as long as you own them and we're confident enough to offer a lifetime warranty. With an average labor of $500.00, the end user actually saves money the first time that they don't have to replace them.


Upper Ball Joint Break In and Use

The ball joints are designed to break in after use. Constructed out of a speciality chosen material that is machined, hardened and machined again, making for a smooth surface. With any hard smooth surface, there will be pores or high spots, not visible by the eye, but under extreme magnification you will be able to detect contact points raised from the general surface plain. The 2-stage aerospace dry lubrication process fills the pores of the machined surface and after significant period of time and consistent use, the surface will burnish. The definition of Burnish means to polish by friction. This is built into the design of the assembly and accounted for in the hard dry lubricant process. After removing the pin from the assembly following our testing periods, the surface has a luster to it which is the affect of the burnishing through normal use of the product. The burnished surfaces will reduce friction and smooth out rotation even further.

Without diving into a lesson on metallurgy, what we have discovered is that the ball joints get even better over time. Still flowing Redline CV2 high performance grease combined with the 2-stage machine applied dry lubricant process, the sheer pressure of the activity that the upper ball joint is subject to allows for the burnishing process to take place and when reviewed, you can see by eye and feel by touch that the surface is smoother. Just the way it was designed to do.
