- Hardened bearing cups: heat treated for strength, then precision-ground and case-hardened for durability.
- Thrust washers: designed to prevent metal-to-metal contact, reduce wear and lower the joint's overall operating temperature.
- Solid journal cross: engineered with a cold-formed body for better wear and overall strength.
- SKF quality: made from premium materials to SKF's strict quality standards and designed to match or surpass original equipment specifications.
