Ball joints are made up of a lower ball joint and upper floating king-pin. The upper ball joint is designed as a pivot point determining the axis on which the knuckle will move and thus, only sees a lateral load. The lower ball joint tracks the knuckle on an imperfect axis, the spherical lower is required to allow the knuckle to move freely with only a slight vertical travel through its steering cycle. Carli Extreme-Duty Upper Ball Joints have a pin and housing but the “hat” of the pin contacts the housing. This adds a second wear surface to further distribute the load applied laterally to the ball joint while providing the same failsafe as a factory ball joint ensuring the pin cannot be pulled through the bottom of the ball joint housing. Further, there is no sleeve isolating the wear surfaces, eliminating the point of failure. A Viton Seal at the bottom of the housing prevents the environment elements from entering the ball joint. The lower joints have no liners of any kind. At the top, a bronze wear surface preloaded by a disc spring, safety washer and snap ring ensures the ball joints wear surfaces are always held tightly together for superior performance. Materials and process play an important role in the impressive durability and performance of Carli Extreme-Duty Ball Joints. It starts with masking. All surfaces but the wear surface are masked with a copper plating. Once plated, the ball joints head to carburizing. The carburizing creates an extremely hard surface with a case-hardness (penetrating depth) of 20-25 thousandths. When the ball joint has completed the carburizing/heat treatment, it’s stripped of the copper masking, leaving the entire joint heat treated and the wear surfaces incredibly hard. The entire joint is then covered with a corrosion resistant gray coating for protection from the elements.
Safeguard your Ram 2500/3500's ring-gear with Carli Front Differential Guard. Quick install, grade 8 hardware, and 1/4" cold-rolled steel construction provide ultimate protection for worry-free off-road adventures.
This Carli low-mount steering stabilizer features a proprietary nitrogen chamber shock that’s adjustable from 70psi to 200psi, allowing customers to correct for radial tire-pull in various configurations. The stabilizer is a stainless-steel body design that is fully rebuildable and the unit features a hardened black nitride shaft, machined billet aluminum rod ends, and precision ½-inch spherical bearings.
The track bar plays a crucial role in the front end of heavy-duty straight axle trucks, serving as both a suspension and steering component. Any deflection or wear in the track bar and its bushings immediately impacts the driver's experience, leading to issues like excessive steering input, floating front end, wandering, and the dreaded Death Wobble. Lifting the truck makes matters worse by putting additional load and strain on the bar by pulling the axle off-center and changing the undercarriage geometry. Carli's Adjustable Track Bar is engineered to address these problems effectively. It deflects less than the stock bar, ensuring improved handling and damping vibrations without compromising performance and allows the axle to be re-centered restoring proper geometry. Unlike the factory bar, Carli's track bar offers an extended service life, being rebuildable rather than replaceable.
