BALL JOINT OF A STABILIZER LINK, CAPABLE OF PREVENTING THE EXCESSIVE SHAKING-ANGLE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TWO BALL JOINTS DUE TO THE SLIGHT START-TORQUE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO BALL JOINTS ON BOTH ENDS OF THE STABILIZER LINK

摘要

PURPOSE: A ball joint of a stabilizer link is intended to enhance durability by preventing moisture and foreign materials from going into the ball joint due to the posture incorrectness of a dust cover.;CONSTITUTION: A ball joint of a stabilizer link comprises bearings(3) and a ball stud(5). The bearings are integrally formed on both ends of the stabilizer link, respectively. The bearing forms the ball joint with the ball stud. The bearing comprises a shaking restricting protrusion(1), which interferes with the ball stud in a given range of angles. The ball stud is coupled to the bearing and is formed so that free shaking is made before the ball stud makes contact with the shaking restricting protrusion. The shaking restricting protrusion is formed on the center of the bearing in a circle shape around the central axis of the ball stud when the ball stud is in a neutral state of a shaking angle of 0. The ball stud comprises an indented part, which is indented from the spherical surface of the ball stud, which makes contact with the bearing on a lower part toward the center of the bearing.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2011
