there teflon coated, they shouldnt(under normal circumstances) rust, i have the complete Battle Version arm set, except for the lower arms, and all my heim joints are fine and the car is my dd, so it sees rain, a lil salt(from the beach) and everything else South East Georgia has to throw at it and they look fine(ridin on them for 8 months).

but the thing is the front and rear lower control arms from battle version have exposed metal joints so what can i go to cover with because if dust or water get in there the joint might seize up

there teflon coated, and the metal that is exposed is either aluminum, or coated high strength steel, if your really worried about it just keep some sort of dry lubricant on it(dry graphite lube) not wd40, not white lithium

IMO there WAY too expensive to be putting on a street car, there intended for TRACK cars, save yourself some money and get oem replacements, i got my NEW front lower control arms with bushings and ball joints, for $130 shipped, as opposed to $450 for those pieces, look around and be smart with your money....are you really gonna need that much adjustment on a dd????? I think not
