Ball Joint Ultimate Beam Benefits


highlights


In 1999, the only way to get the perfect stance, wheels, and brake fitment on your ride was by cutting up the factory beam. It was a tedious, complex process to narrow your track and install adjusters—one that left many enthusiasts searching for a better solution.

After countless attempts to work with fabricators, we decided to take matters into our own hands and design the perfect beam from scratch. Every detail was carefully planned, and we made sure it included everything you need and nothing you don't.

Here's what made our beam truly unique:

  • American-Made Steel: We insisted on using only the best quality materials for unmatched strength and durability.
  • Delrin Bushings: These are the last bushings you'll ever need—high-performance, long-lasting, and built for a smooth ride.
  • Maximized Clearance: This beam is narrowed six inches and comes shockless, perfect for a cruiser application.
  • Precision Machining: Every bung, center, slide block, and nutsert is machined in-house for perfect precision and fit.
  • In-House Jig Building: Each beam is carefully jig-built to ensure flawless alignment and durability.
  • Grease Fittings: For proper maintenance and longevity, every beam includes grease fittings, making upkeep a breeze.
  • Premium Powder Coating: To ensure your beam not only performs flawlessly but also looks incredible, we powder coat each one for a sleek, long-lasting finish.

This was all back in 2007, and since then, we've built over 25,000 beams—constantly refining and improving our designs. The PRO's continue to set the standard for precision, performance, and style. If you're looking for the ultimate upgrade to your vehicle's suspension, this is it.


Whats Included




Upgrade Your Ride with the Ultimate Beam: Performance, Precision, and Easy Installation

Ready to take your ride to the next level? Our Ultimate Beam is the perfect choice for anyone looking to enhance performance without compromising compatibility. Designed to work seamlessly with all your stock components, you won’t need to worry about swapping out control arms, steering boxes, OEM shocks, or steering joints. Everything fits perfectly with zero hassle.

Maximum Versatility for Your Setup

The 4” narrowed beam is engineered to give you the most flexibility in wheel choices, brake packages, and drop spindle applications. This wide compatibility ensures you can customize your setup without limitations, and since it narrows the overall track width, your options just opened up.

Simple, No-Hassle Installation

No body modifications required—this beam bolts right in for a fast and easy install. You can have it up and running in no time, and with our narrowed torsions and tie rods, you’ll be ready to roll in just a few hours. Imagine this: install the beam on Saturday morning, grab lunch, and hit the road with a whole new level of performance by the afternoon.

Go the Extra Mile with an Install Kit

For the ultimate in adjustability and comfort, we recommend adding our Install Kit which includes premium tie rod ends, a high-quality steering damper, and top-tier bolts and insulators—all the essentials for a flawless, long-lasting setup.

The Perfect Build: Choose What Works for You

To get the most out of your Ultimate Beam:

  • Opt for the beam, narrowed torsions, and tie rods for a straightforward upgrade using your existing components (if they’re in good condition).
  • If your budget allows, upgrade to the Install Kit to maximize performance and install quality.

What does this fit?


Better Than Expected! Pete and the Crew at Airkewld, just wanted all to know how impressed I am with your product. The quality of material, craftsmanship, packaging and shipping are all top notch. Airkewld is definitely a first class organization. Loved the packaging recycle program, too cool.

UB for my 71 Bug. This thing is a work of art and all aspects are very high quality. So much so that I started to detail all of my bolt-ons (steering box, pitman arm, tie rod ends, etc) to match. It installed just like the directions say and looks great. Looking forward to many days of riding in style and my tires not hitting the fenders. Thanks Airkewld!

Q: How does a shockless beam ride?
A: Smooth.The perfect fit of the delrin bushing and the control arms gives the vehicle an ultra-smooth suspension cycle. The common thought is it would ride like a cement truck, but that can't be farther from the truth. Here is a video showcasing the beam itself.


Q: My control arms don’t slide into the Ultimate Beam easily. Do I need to purchase your arm set?
A: Not at all! If your control arms aren’t sliding in smoothly, it’s likely due to wear from years of use. Most stock arms haven’t been serviced, which causes them to develop a slight build-up or rough spots. Simply polish your arms with emory cloth until they slide in easily and smoothly. This step is crucial for achieving a smooth, comfortable ride. Skipping it or forcing the arms in could result in poor vehicle handling. For a detailed guide, check out our polishing tutorial video to make sure your installation goes perfectly.


Q: What kind of time is typical for installation?
A: Roughly 4 hours if you have general VW knowledge and follow our very detailed installation guide.

5 of 5 Beam July 20, 2020
Reviewer: Paul Adams from Ferndale , CA United States  
Beam quality was great. Fit and finish was perfect. Beam bushings were a great design that simplified the install.  Wish it was going in a show car and not a driver.
