A closer view of the upper rubber pivot shows how the triangular braced beam pivots on the vertical shaft that is bolted to the chassis with these two bolts.
At the bottom of the compliance beam we can see the rubber isolator that separates the central shaft with the outer housing that pivots around the rubber bushing. We can also see the eccentric bolt that adjusts the caster in the front suspension.
The Carbon 6 Compliance Clamp is CNC machined from 6061 aluminum and anodized in their signature bright gold finish. Six bolts clamp the pivot of the compliance beam to the chassis, locking out its movement and improving steering response and handling.
Due to the tight tolerances of the Carbon 6 Compliance Clamp, we had to file down the seam in the compliance beam for clearance.
Installation was straight-forward and the supplied long allen head bolts attaches the clamp to the chassis. The bright gold Carbon 6 compliance clamp looked great in the fender well.

Whoever specced titanium for an aluminum balljoint needs to go back to school.
Titanium is farther from aluminum in a galvanic series than stainless steel is. That means that there will be a greater potential for galvanic corrosion between the titanium screws and the aluminum than there would be between the stainless and aluminum.
What balljoint is aluminum?
The galvanic effect between Ti and Aluminum and stainless and aluminum is minimal enough not to be an issue in most environments. I mean if you know material science at all you would easily know that it is not an issue. Ti is stronger than most alloys of stainless steel and has a greatly superior strength-to-weight ratio. It is a great material for this application. Not sure what you mean by an aluminum ball joint.
how come you don’t have the boots on the monoball joints in any of the pics?
