Ball Joint

Suspension joints are integrated into the control arms, pressed-in or flange-mounted. Alternatively, they can be pressed or screwed into the wheel carrier. A distinction is made between guide and suspension joints for passenger cars, vans and light commercial vehicles. While the guide joint generally transmits only longitudinal and lateral forces with a low proportion of vertical forces, the vehicle weight is additionally supported by the support joint.

The most important wheel suspension designs include (wheel) suspension ball joints, supporting joints and cross-axis joints. These ball joints connect the wheel suspension control arms with the wheel carrier and, consequently, with the wheel.

While the suspension ball joint usually only transfers longitudinal and lateral forces with a low amount of vertical forces, the supporting joint also supports the vehicle weight (axial spring and damper forces).

In terms of design, the suspension ball joints and the supporting joints are only marginally different from one another. The supporting joint is located on the opposite side of the suspension ball joint, assembled in the steering knuckle. It absorbs forces in all directions and can be installed in a suspended or vertical manner. The ball joint housing is usually attached in the control arm and the ball stud is usually attached on the inside of the steering knuckle via its conical taper or a cylindrical dog point. Advantage: This mounting is maintenance-free.
