Perfect finish. If you already have brass weights, or not, these things are nice to have and the best finish for the money! If you have metal balls in your links, be prepared for a tight fit in the lowers, but they will go!
High quality aluminum construction and good tolerances. DO NOT use with stock shock balls. Stock shock ball threads will break off due to the tight machining tolerances, only use with aftermarket suspension and included screws. If you do break off threads you can drill out holes with high speed machine bits from Harbor Freight. Hope this helps
Great axle housings. No machine tooling marks. Black coating i believe is powder coat. Screw threads are good. No burrs. Very good quality. The knuckle area is more exposed, can see the axle shaft and joint. Dirt and debri can build up there, but has enough room to fall off and get cleaned up compared to stock axle. Don know if its good or bad. Other than that this and the rear axle housing are great.
Reviewers generally rate this black aluminum front axle housing highly for build quality, with comments on good tolerances, clean machining, good screw threads, and no burrs. One reviewer notes the finish appears to be powder coat. Fit is described as tight: one owner warns that metal balls in the links make installation in the lower holes difficult, though they still fit. A recurring caution is that stock shock balls are unsuitable; one reviewer reports the threads broke off and recommends aftermarket suspension with the included screws. Another notes the knuckle area is more exposed, so dirt can build up, though it tends to fall out. Three reviews is a small sample.
