Great tutorial Scott!
It would be neat to see a video explaining the benefits over stock style. I’ve seen the question come up about why is it better to have the upper joint share the load and how the design differs from a stock style joint.
FYI guys there are some discrepancies between this video and the downloadable instructions. You should also point out that the grease fitting on the lower BJ should not just point rearwards, but angle IN towards the control arm. The video shows this, but does not make any special note of it. If someone does not align that lower BJ just right, the ear on the axle stub shaft can contact it towards the end of the steering sweep. Failing to realize that before driving the vehicle could result in some nasty carnage.
Thank you. You are correct that there is better documentation in the written instructions compared to the video. Our instruction videos are intended to be a "supplement" to the written instructions, not a replacement.
Thank you for your input, we will highlight that step with additional caution.
@@metalcloak thanks for the reply, and thanks for making quality instructions and videos. The angle of the lower joint was something not highlighted in either.
@@DirtRoadTherapy my apologies... the JL/JT instructions clearly spell this out. The JK instructions do not. We will remedy that immediately.
I am doing research on all types of ball joints and even the deletes. I like the ease of installation. I am leaning towards ball joint delete can you give me a reason for lack of a better word to get these. Thanks for a informative video.
Thank you for the question! There are a few reasons... one is adjustability. As parts wear, the adjustability allows for you to keep things tight and control memory steer. Another is grease-ability, which not only keeps parts working well, but keeps contaminants out. And, of course they are fully rebuildable without being removed from the rig.
Great video. I have had a set of teraflex ball joints sitting on shelf for a future installation,but I like the MC .
Nice. Thank you!
