Ball joints are made up of a lower ball joint and upper floating king-pin. The upper ball joint is designed as a pivot point determining the axis on which the knuckle will move and thus, only sees a lateral load. The lower ball joint tracks the knuckle on an imperfect axis, the spherical lower is required to allow the knuckle to move freely with only a slight vertical travel through its steering cycle. Carli Extreme-Duty Upper Ball Joints have a pin and housing but the “hat” of the pin contacts the housing. This adds a second wear surface to further distribute the load applied laterally to the ball joint while providing the same failsafe as a factory ball joint ensuring the pin cannot be pulled through the bottom of the ball joint housing. Further, there is no sleeve isolating the wear surfaces, eliminating the point of failure. A Viton Seal at the bottom of the housing prevents the environment elements from entering the ball joint. The lower joints have no liners of any kind. At the top, a bronze wear surface preloaded by a disc spring, safety washer and snap ring ensures the ball joints wear surfaces are always held tightly together for superior performance. Materials and process play an important role in the impressive durability and performance of Carli Extreme-Duty Ball Joints. It starts with masking. All surfaces but the wear surface are masked with a copper plating. Once plated, the ball joints head to carburizing. The carburizing creates an extremely hard surface with a case-hardness (penetrating depth) of 20-25 thousandths. When the ball joint has completed the carburizing/heat treatment, it’s stripped of the copper masking, leaving the entire joint heat treated and the wear surfaces incredibly hard. The entire joint is then covered with a corrosion resistant gray coating for protection from the elements.

This company lies to you. Ordered a 02 sensor from APPD for my C7 Vette. Paid the highest possible courier service for the fastest possible shipping from Newcastle to France. I needed the part urgently. Ordered at the weekend and called them Monday to confirm all was in hand and explained the part was required urgently. Response from APPD yes we've recieved the order and will ship as soon as its been processed. Called every day for the next 7 days to be told yes its been shipped and this is the shipping number. Turned out it took them till Friday ..5 days later to post it and then the package lay at the courier another week or so. APPD lied to me throughout this whole transaction. The package cleared customs in 2 days and should have been with me in just over week and not over 4 weeks. APPD offereed the postage refunded after I had to start a PAYPAL dispute.. This should have been a straight forward simple part delivery.When it goes wrong you shouldn't lie to your customer. A serious compay would refund the customer not try to fuzz the truth and blame everyone else. I refused the postage delivery refund so you can buy some honesty pills and discuss with your team how to avoid more negative service feedback. If your thinking of ordering parts from APPD scroll on and find another supplier. You dont need or want the hassle of dealing with these people.

Over a month waiting on parts and all I get is it will scan soon week after week. Reordered from US so I could finish build and same parts arrived in one week. Waiting to see if they will refund??

placed an order for parts 13th of feb, all listed in stock, got shipping update for label created on the 16th of feb. I have still not received what I ordered and paid for, no updates. I have been getting the same generic answer "order will be fulfilled today" for nearly 2 months now when trying to enquire. Quite disappointing as I have been unable to finish off my car due to waiting on the final fuel system parts for over 2 months now.
