Q: WHAT IF A CLEVITE JOINT MET A FLEX JOINT IN A BAR...
A: You'd have the key to the Metalcloak Control Arms, the Duroflex™ Joint (Patent Pending) |
 |
Metalcloak has taken the best features of the most widely used control arm joints and combine those features to create the Duroflex Joint, producing a Low-Maintenance, High-Misalignment (34˚), Self-Centering, Rebuildable Joint with an OEM quality ride.

THE DUROFLEX JOINT PROVIDES THE BEST RIDE. PERIOD. |
High Vibration Dampening & Self Centering...
Made of a Proprietary Rubber Compound, the High Vibration Dampening and Self-Centering characteristics of the Duroflex Joint means you will always get...
- The best ride quality
- No binding of your control arms.
- None of the micro-wear that DESTROYS Flex Joints
|
 |
 |
High Misalignment...
By adapting the High Transverse Flex characteristics of a typical Flex Joint, the Duroflex Joint gives you...
- Over 34 degrees of Misalignment
- Over 68 degrees per Control Arm
|
Absorbs Micro-Movements...
Because the Roto-Bearing absorbs the millions of Rotational Micro-Movements found in your daily driving, you get...
- Improved Ride Quality
- None of the micro-wear that DESTROYS Flex Joints
|
 |
 |
True Bearing Surface...
The outer surface of the Roto-Bushing acts as a bearing, breaking free when called for, giving you...
- Maximum Rotation & Articulation
- No "Binding Up" of the Control Arms
|
Low Maintenance & Rebuildable...
Unlike typical Flex Joints, the Duroflex does not require replacing key parts every year like others...
But, when you do need to rebuild it, it is Metalcloak Easy!
Just pull out the Roto-Bushing, clean it up, add some new Teflon impregnated, synthetic silicone grease. Reassemble.
Done. |

 |
Control Arm Duroflex Joint Alignment...
At Metalcloak we take the care to build every product right.
Most manufacturers build their control arms misaligned from center. Why? It is simply costs less to do so.
By not cutting any corners, our joints are Centered and Aligned reducing wear and improving performance.
It also makes them easier to install, too! |
 |
DEGREES OF ARTICULATION...
Metalcloak's Duroflex Joint provides 28˚ more articulation and flex then typical control arms! |
