FITMENT

Wheels and Spacers:

If you run AEV or stock Rubicon wheels, you'll need a 1.5" spacer. This kits works with a 17" wheel with a 4.75" backspacing or less.

Differentials & Mods:

This steering system fits stock Dana 30/44 axles. If you have done any major modifications make sure all your modifications are compatible.

THE SPECIAL SAUCE:

HOUSING

SAE 1045 Solid Steel Forged Housing: This is the best carbon alloy steel for this application.
CNC Machined Housing: Make our parts and bearings dimensionally perfect, eliminating any die-wear issues.
Knurled Housings: The preferred design for aftermarket installations.

BALL STUDS

SAE 4140 hot forged Chromoly Ball Studs: For the strongest possible metallurgy.
Induction Heat-Treated Ball Studs: Provides a very precise heat treatment to the exact depth and location we want it.
Polished Ball Studs: Are built like an anti-friction bearing with extremely precise tolerances.
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

Rugged Metal to Metal Bearing

BOOTS

CR Rubber Boots: The most durable material for under-car applications. Resistant to deterioration from road level ozone, oil/gas/engine fluids and extreme heat or cold.
Accordion Boot: Ideal for high-articulation components, more flexibility means longer life.

FINISH

Phosphate Finish: Extremely durable. Double coated. Threads coated as well. Rugged look.

HARDWARE

Grade 8 - Class 10.9 Hardware: Superior tensile strength.
Castle Nut: Industry standard where high vibration loads occur.

ADJUSTING RODS

E-Coat Finish: Durable e-coat treatment
1.5" DOM SAE 1020 Tube: Heavy walled steel tubing provides the tightest most robust steering on the market.

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.
Gull Winged Grease Grooves: Allows for improved lubrication disbursement around the ball stud.
Zerk Fittings: Included for every application.

SPECIAL FEATURES

Ninja Washers (TM): An APEX exclusive is our Ninja Washer which is a unique method of securing the lock nut to the tube, erasing the need for lightly built adjusting tubes with ugly pinch clamps. And who doesn't want a ninja on their front end.
