These new flex ends are perfect for use in your next custom control arm, as they utilize a steel ball and poly races to allow up to 15 degrees of misalignment from center. BDS also offers a weld-in bungs to match for 1-1/2″, 1-3/8″, and 1-1/4″ ID tubing.
Official Release:
BDS Suspension now offers an expanded line of products with the custom builder in mind. New steel forged control arm ends and matching weld in bungs will fill out any custom control arm build sheet. These parts are also included in the next generation of BDS control arms.
New BDS forged steel control arm ends utilize a steel ball and polyurethane races to allow up to 15 degrees of misalignment from center. They are assembled with a single snap ring. Housings are e-coated black and are sold completely assembled and ready to use. Grease fittings and black e-coated jam nuts are included with each end.
Forged flex ends are available in 2 popular sizes. The larger ends use the industry standard 1-1/4″-12 threads. Threads are 4″ long to provide plenty of adjustability without sacrificing thread engagement. The smaller ends use 1″-14 threads and are 3-1/2″ long. These āsmallā ends boast some of the largest threads in the industry. If custom mounts are not in your future, each of these ends come loaded with common Jeep sized flex balls to allow use in nearly all Jeep OE mounting locations.
Designed to match the BDS forged flex end custom project, BDS now offers weld-in bungs. The larger bung utilizes 1-1/4″-12 threads and is designed to be welded into 1.5″ ID tubing. BDS offers two smaller bung sizes with 1″-14 threads, one fits 1-3/8″ ID tubing and the other fits 1-1/4ā ID tubing.
The large and small black e-coated jam nuts are available along with forged flex end rebuild kits.
