Important notes from MetalCloak
- The kit replaces all bushings in MetalCloak control arms. Axle bushings are not included — if you have a MetalCloak axle bushing kit, order those separately.
- The warranty is valid only if Duroflex joints are installed on both ends of the control arm.
- MetalCloak recommends having a suspension specialist align the vehicle after installation.
- MetalCloak does not supply written instructions with this kit.
Key benefits of the Duroflex joint
- Vibration damping. MetalCloak claims an OEM-quality ride and better damping than rubber Clevite-style bushings. In practice, less axle vibration reaches the body.
- High misalignment. The joint lets the arm work at an angle without binding, which means freer axle articulation off road.
- Self-centering. Once unloaded, the arm returns to its neutral position.
- Absorbs micro-movements. The elastomer takes up the small rotational movements of daily driving that gradually wear out conventional ball-type flex joints.
- Bearing-like outer surface. At large angles the outer surface of the insert rotates in the housing instead of binding the arm.
- Kevlar in the compound. MetalCloak's proprietary elastomer is reinforced with DuPont Kevlar fibre. Kevlar inserts carry an "M" logo on the outer surface.
- Easy to rebuild. The joint does not need parts replaced every year; when it is time, you pull the insert, clean it, grease it and reassemble.
Installation and maintenance
- Rebuild according to MetalCloak: pull the insert, clean it, apply fresh Teflon-impregnated synthetic silicone grease (MetalCloak uses Superlube) and reassemble the joint.
- Our Szekla4x4.pl workshop can do the replacement or rebuild for you.
- MetalCloak marks the products on its website as intended for off-road use.
