A rubber seal (32) for vehicular ball joint assemblies located in the vicinity of a source of heat (30). The seal (32) includes an integrally molded metal heat shield for facing the source of heat to prevent the deterioration of the seal from the heat. Such a seal with integral heat shield is particularly beneficial between a vehicle brake rotor (30) and lower control arm (22) and/or a tie rod (26) operatively connected to a steering knuckle (10). <IMAGE> |
