Each joint is hard chrome plated and heat treated to resist wear under high loads, giving a 16,000 lb static load rating that suits performance vehicles, off-road rigs, and custom chassis projects. The parts are finished to resist corrosion and simplify installation into panhard bars, tie rods, traction bars, and other steering and suspension linkages.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this heim joint kit withstand heavy loads and frequent movement?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe OUBULU joints are fabricated from chromoly steel, heat treated for strength, and hard chrome plated for wear resistance.
