Built for the demands of diesel towing, hauling, and off-road use, it features a forged SAE 1045 solid steel housing and CNC-machined construction for unmatched durability and fit. The SAE 4140 hot-forged Chromoly ball studs are induction heat-treated for extreme load resistance, while rolled and step threads ensure smooth installation and a secure hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA military-grade acetal bearing, used in U.S. military Humvees, provides superior stability, low friction, and long life compared to metal-on-metal designs. Heavy-duty CR rubber boots guard against heat, oil, and debris, and Grade 8 hardware with a castle nut guarantees a solid connection. Pre-greased and greaseable with Gull Winged grease grooves and a zerk fitting, this tie rod end is ready for the toughest diesel applications on 2011–2024 Silverado and Sierra 2500HD and 3500HD trucks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHOUSING\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSAE 1045 Solid Steel Forged Housing: This is unequivocally the best carbon alloy steel for this application.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCNC Machined Housing: Make our parts and bearings dimensionally perfect, eliminating any die wear issues.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBALL STUDS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSAE 4140 hot forged Chromoly Ball Studs: For the strongest possible metallurgy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInduction Heat Treated Ball Studs: Provides a very precise heat treatment to the exact depth and location we want it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRolled Threads: Are made by pressing the shape of the threads into the ball stud instead of cutting.
