As the years go by and miles are put on the truck and normal wear and
tear happen, the Internal parts of the Ball Joints will also begin to
wear. If, at any time, you start to feel Up and Down Play in the Lower
Ball Joint, you simply take the set screw out of the side of the housing
and tighten the Ring, then put the set screw back in, grease and you’re
good to go.
EMF Ball Joints are TRULY REBUILDABLE – Which means inside the Ball
Joint housing there is a removable race and pin. This removable race
acts as the wear point inside the housing, protecting it from any
damage. When the time comes to rebuild the Ball Joint, there is no need
to press the housing out of the knuckle. You simply rebuild the Ball
Joint right on the truck by removing the set screw on the side of the
body, then removing the Threaded Ring or Cap using a Spanner Wrench
(Performance Tool part number W30781). Finally, you pop the internal
race(s) and pin out and put the new ones in, tighten up the Ring/Cap,
put the set screw back in and grease! Saving you Time and Money.
EMF is a Canadian Company, which means we need parts that last in all
sorts of extreme temperatures. EMF Ball Joints are manufactured in
their humble shop in Alberta, Canada. EMF Ball Joints are made from
4140 HTSR Chromoly Steel and then they go through a process called QPQ
Salt Bath Nitriding and this is what gives the material added strength
and the smooth, long lasting, anti-galling black finish.
