Keep up the great work guys I’m learning a lot from your videos.

Very good and very detailed video. I am about to tackle this project in a truck I just bought. The rod ends are all sloppy and the truck wanders a LOT. I figure I might as well order ball joints and do them and get it all up to snuff so I only have to get the front end aligned once.

I installed a set of Carli ball joints on my 2006 ram 2500 back in 2013 and they are still holding tight. I do grease them at every oil change interval and check for play and so far so good 👍.

Most informative video on ball joints. Thank you

You are incorrect when you say the Carli's are plated or coated. They arent. Like the EMFs they are nitride'd and that is not a plating or coating. It is a process where ferrous metals have their carbon lattice changed from body centered to face centered but only 5-10 microns deep. (depending on what depth was desired) Not changing the machined dimension of the original part like platings & coatings would and keeping the original steel properties of the piece yet providing a VERY hard surface. The EMFs appear to have gone thru a QPQ type process with polishing done between quenches. The Carli appears to to only have a one-process nitride treatment and if so would not have the same lubricity, corrosion resistance and possible surface hardness as the EMF. A simple line of tests with a Knoop and/or Vickers fixture would quantify that easily enough though. But neither the EMF or the Carli are plated/coated.

I put a set on my 05 Dodge 3500 4x4 and so far so good seam like a great ball joints !

I have the Carli ball joints on my truck after going through 4 ball joints (Stock, Moogs x2, EMF). Still holding up after a year of hard driving in the poorly paved streets of NYC with negative offset wheels. I also had Carli ball joints on my 2004 for about 3 years and that lasted. Expensive? Yes, but damn worth every penny!

Awesome advice!!

So I ordered kryptonite balls joints for my Dodge Ram 2500 2wd will they still work even though it’s a 2wd?

I have 8 years on Carli ball joints and carrying a 900 lb snowplow. Still tight as the day I put them in.

I was looking into getting the synergy ball joints anyone running those and what do you think about them. I have all the steering components that are synergy and have had zero problems and i really like them. Jyst curious how their ball joints are.

What about synergy ball joints.

Do these Carli lifetime units offer any driver side top of knuckle 1 degree offset? I’ve had to run a Moog 1 degree offset upper driver ball joint to correct a tracking/pulling issue on a 2018 AEV PXL…just wondering if this issue will return with these Carli units & with proper alignment?

EMF are local to me and I've heard nothing but good about them.

What suspension is on the silver Ram at 2:46 in the video? Man that thing riding smooth!

You never mentioned if they were bronzor plastic bushings

I see synergy also on your site, how do you feel those fit in the order with these?

So I purchased a pair and was told they were too small for my 2009 ram 3500 . I have been stuck with moog parts even when I take it to a shop to get em installed nobody will install em. Got the sway bar track bar and shocks and could be nice to find out why I was told they won’t work. Third shop and 5 th pair of uppers and lowers. Any suggestions or recommendations on a reputable shop with experience installing these? Feel took in so many ways 10,000 in work and still can’t get all the parts installed. Frustrated pay 5,000 in three years for a ball joint problem that can’t be fixed. Now my synergy steering won’t bolt up to the steering stabilizer. 1,500 for moogs installed again because supposedly carli was too small for the joint.. I use my vehicle to take my dad to appointments from Montana to Washington. Them roads ain’t fun in a truck that rides like a bale wagon. I need some help in a big way. Wish people who pushed products would drop some info on where to get all this shit properly installed.

I run stock wheels and tires. Over 200k miles with stock American Axle ball joints. I’ll stick with AA ball joints.
