UTV ball joints cannot be made to last forever. There is simply too much friction, wear, and stress they must endure to last a lifetime. High Lifter's goal was to design an option that would last far longer than other ball joints on the market. So they developed the new APEXX Performance Lower Ball Joint for Polaris Ranger XP 1000 UTVs.
Strength
When creating the APEXX Performance Ball Joint, High Lifter used 4340 chromoly steel for not only the housing, but also the stud itself. The stud is what bares most of the forces applied to the ball joint, so they designed theirs to be thicker and with a design profile that gives maximum relief against load pressure. The housing and stud have also had an attractive black zinc coating applied to them for increased protection against corrosion. All of this together adds up to a ball joint with twice the strength of its OEM counterparts.
Durability
High Lifter wanted the ability to add new grease to the ball joint whenever you wanted and rebuild them as the need arose, unlike many, if not most of the ball joints that came factory-installed on your Polaris Ranger XP 1000 UTV. The High Lifter design uses all steel-on-steel parts, allowing for a longer life and providing the ability to be easily rebuilt and greased via a needle zerk fitting. Now, no matter if you are riding in the dunes, scrub or mud, you'll have the peace of mind knowing your ball joint has fresh grease and it's built with the strength to withstand the ride ahead.
Adjustability
All moving components can wear down over time. This is especially true for components used on offroad vehicles. No matter how great they are lubricated or how strong they are made, any part that constantly moves and is mated against another part will wear. That's why High Lifter's design allows you to easily set the pressure applied against the ball joint stud. This way, any "slack" caused from wear can be removed with a simple turn of the adjustment screw.
