A pin and socket for use in a pivot connection characterized by a shaft carrying a pivot having a spherically shaped exterior portion; a bearing having at least two sections covering substantially the entire spherical exterior portion for sustaining maximum radial and thrust forces, but having a small clearance adjacent the equator of the spherical portion for wear adjustment and for lubrication; and a cavity and thrust plate means for retaining the bearing sections fittingly engaging the spherical exterior portion of the pivot. With the disclosed structure, misalignment is prevented and the pin and socket easily and precisely adjusted for wear.
