Hi, I'm Wade from Thoroughbred Diesel. And today we're going to be showing you Dynatrac's fully
rebuildable, heavy duty ball joints. If you guys have a truck that is known to eat up ball joints,
i.e. Dodges. No. Dynatrac's fully rebuildable ball joints are something that you really,
really should consider. Now, these Dynatrac ball joins again, fully rebuildable. This is a
ball joint that you're going to put in the truck that's going to last the life of the truck.
And by lasting the life of the truck, I don't mean that this is going to be the last ball
joint that you ever put in. It is going to be the last ball joint that you're ever going to put in,
but it does have wearable portions to it. Although it is going to wear slower than
your normal conventional ball joint, this is a wearable part, that we sell wear kits for these,
rebuild kits, to where you can rebuild these and slap them in the truck for a lot less cost than
replacing the ball joints is going to be. So let's talk about what makes this ball joint
superior to other ball joints out there. So let's talk about the stem.
Dynatrac says that the bread and butter of their ball joint is the heat treated chromoly stem.
This stem also has, inside of the body, has a ball-bearing on it. The ball bearing is a press
fit on there. So once the ball joint begins to wear, the ball bearing is replaced. Now the ball
bearing rides inside of the billet. One piece. Again, heat treated housing that Dynatrac does.
The housing actually has a lining of Teflon inside of it that the stem and the bearing ride in inside
of the housing. Now, what that gives you is that gives you kind of a frictionless contact
between the body and the stem bearing itself. And that's going to give you a lot better wear.
It's just going to give you, I guess, an element of lubrication inside of there
as well. Now, talking about lubrication, these ball joints do come with grease zerks on them. So
they are greasable. You don't need to put as much grease in one of these, as you normally would. A
couple of pumps a year, one pump a year is perfect for extending out the life of the ball joint.
Now, when you buy a set of Dynatrac ball joints from us, this is what it comes in the package.
I just pulled one out there to show you. This is a full set of four so you get an upper and lower
for the front end of your truck. And make sure that you look at our year, make, and model on
our website, what these fit. We have these for the common rail Dodge '03 and up. There's a small
sector of the VP44 trucks, and the earlier model Dodge [inaudible 00:02:38] 60, stuff like that.
And they make a lot of ball joints for the Jeeps and whatnot. So check them on our website. We
also have them for Fords as well. So one thing I wanted to mention about the body of these,
this is a knurled body on some of these ball joints. Now, what that's going to do is if you've
replaced the ball joints in your truck over time, you've probably used an emery cloth or something
of that nature. Hopefully, you didn't remove any material from it. But if you did Scotch-Brite pad,
if it's removed some material from removal and installation of it, these are knurled.
So this knurled ball joint, and you go in, that's the last time that you're going to have
to do that. It's going to take up that slack inside of the yoke, and you're going to just
have a better press fit there. Now, when these are rebuildable or as these are rebuildable,
this is done by removing this while it's on the truck. So you don't have to drive it out. You
don't have to press this out. All you have to do is take the center piece out of this
and the stem will drop out of it, you get your rebuild kit, put it back together. You can do it
all while it's on the truck. Don't need to repress it out. So that's going to save you a lot,
a lot of time, which is really, really nice. I definitely would suggest this. If you ever look
on our website, we have a really good video that was done by Dynatrac that
shows the differences between a stock ball joint or a normal aftermarket ball joint,
and the HD ball joints from Dynatrac. You can see that one of the cushion points inside of the
ball joint, for lack of a better word, is a piece of plastic that comes in these ball joints. And as
you have the travel of the truck, the up and down of the front axle, it beats against that plastic
insert. And that's what causes your slack for lack of a better word again, inside of the ball
joint. And that's where you get the looseness, and then you're going to get bad wear of your tires,
bad drivability of the truck. So many things. Ball joint is very, very important to your overall
drivability and steerability of your truck. You guys that have trucks that have these
on the front end, you all know the importance of these. This is a little bit more of an expensive
upgrade for your truck, but I promise you it's one of the best upgrades that you will do.
