|
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This is a new front end kit released by PPM (Power Performance Motorsports) for the Chevy Impala and newer Impala SS, as well as the Caprice and 9c1, from 1977 to 1996. I have installed these kits on a few of our shop cars and they perform very nicely! The front end of your car should be rebuilt at the first sign of poor handling, for safety and performance. This kit has been produced using the best of the best parts avalable on the market today by PPM, and many parts have been produced specifically for use in these kits. Here is a list of what is included in the kit: PolyPerfect Control Arm Bushings PolyPerfect End Link kit PolyPerfect Sway Bar Bushings EXTREME DUTY Idler arm EXTREME DUTY Inner Tie Rod Ends EXTREME DUTY Outer Tie Rod Ends EXTREME DUTY Upper Ball Joints EXTREME DUTY Lower Ball Joints (9/16" or 5/8") EXTREME DUTY Center Link
Ball joints The parts are made with highly polished stud and bearing surfaces with close tolerance clearances between the surfaces to reduce friction. The parts come factory packed with the highest quality molybdenum disulfide grease for performance regardless of temperature, pressure, or cycle frequency. Mid-carbon steel (.43% carbon) is used whereas competitors use mild steel (.17%). The reason competitors use low carbon steel is because it's cheaper to buy and easier to work with. Low carbon steel allows them to produce shells and studs using cold forging rather than stronger, more expensive hot forging needed with mid-carbon steel. SAE1045 mid-carbon micro alloy steel is the particular steel used. Competition uses SAE4118 low carbon steel. We used the higher carbon steel and hot forging method because we get a stronger, more durable part with less distortion from the severe heat-treating required to get the same hardness from low carbon steel. The result of the cold forging is that size variations may be over +/- .010". Our part is CNC milled on all surfaces to produce virtually zero tolerance fit. The Impala SS/9C1 upper ball joints are made from hot forging rather than the metal stampings used by competition. This gave us a much stronger, more durable part with a much larger, stronger bearing surface and a pull-out rating almost double that of Moog. Threads on studs and nuts are machine cut and matched to ensure greatest thread contact and smoothness of torques. Wait until you feel how perfectly and easily the nut goes on the stud for ease of installation. CR rubber compound is used for the dust boots. It remains strong and flexible at the high and low temperatures encountered by North American vehicles. CR compound is also impermeable to brake fluid and road level ozone. The boots have a double lip seal to keep grease in and dirt out. The boots are anchored to the part to ensure boot retention. An accordion-type boot is used on the upper ball joints. This prevents the bottom of the boot from being pulled from its anchored base and prevents the stud sealing hole from becoming elliptical (egg shaped). The ball joints come fully assembled and can be installed with the boot already installed on the ball joint. They also feature forged ball studs (SAE4140 steel) and a knurled, press-fit diameter to accommodate both fresh and worn lower control arms. All mounting hardware is SAE grade-8. When tested, the Moog K5208 ball joint (the upper ball joint for our cars) stud pulled out at 10,846 lbs. Our stud pulled out at 16,545 lbs. have similar or superior features to Moog "T" series. Moog, on their non-"T" series, uses a double conical bearing - the shape of an egg, and it starts to wear on the top and bottom and begins to rock. Our bearings are like a top hat - straight down and flat across the bottom and rides on a thrust washer. It allows vertical movement when necessary but no lateral movement that would change toe and cause wear. All parts feature a MILLION MILE warranty. What this means for you: A superior part will be put on your car that you will never have to worry about. Steering and handling will be tightened to better-than-factory levels. $20.00 shipping to the 48 states! Please let me know your car's year, model, and the diameter of your sway bar bushings, so we can have the proper kit built for your car!
