THE SPECIAL SAUCE: HOUSING SAE 1045 Solid Steel Forged Housing: This is unequivocally the best carbon alloy steel for this application. Knurled Housings: No. CNC Machined Housing: Make our parts and bearings dimensionally perfect, eliminating any die wear issues. 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 Ru
