Cadillac Eldorado Ball Joint
Ball Joint of Cadillac Eldorado category of automobiles is a vital component of both the suspension and steering in which control arms are secured to steering knuckles to allow the joint to rotate in two planes while at the same time disallowing translational motion. Mainly used in front suspension, ball joints are made of steel and contain a bearing stud and a socket enclosed in a dust boot. These components have mostly displaced the days of kingspin designs which use to allow or disallow changes in caster and camber angles as well as handling of the vehicle and life span of the tire. Contemporary ball joints are packaged permanently thus no essential for the ball joints to be greased and offer service intervals; some types of ball joints are spherical rolling ball joints, which provide low friction and high stiffness in applications of high accuracy.
