<p>A ball and socket joint is of the type in which a ball pin is supported by a bearing insert retained within a housing. The bearing insert has axial slots in one end which upon assembly of the joint allow the insert to be deformed in a more consistant manner. An annular groove in one end of the insert defines two thin lips one of which upon assembly is deformed to provide a preload to the joint.</p> |
