Customized Ball Joints
Ball joints are fundamental components in a vehicle’s suspension system, providing pivotal connections between the suspension and wheels. Essential for accurate steering and a smooth ride, these spherical bearings resemble the human hip joint, offering a wide range of motion. They typically include a bearing stud and socket enclosed in a casing, allowing for efficient control transfer from the suspension to the steering knuckles, which steers the wheels.
Ball joints consist of a hardened steel ball or stud within a steel or plastic bearing cup, encased in a durable housing pressed or threaded into the control arm. Sealed lubricants ensure smooth articulation and reduce wear.
