The Ball Joint of Chevrolet Equinox cars are imperative components in the suspension and steering systems of the cars where it links the control arms to the steering knuckles allowing free rotation in two planes but inhibiting translation. Usually, Equinox cars use upper and lower ball joints within their suspensions, and the upper ones normally act as the followers. Born of steel these eyebars have a bearing stud and socket with a rubber boot to shield from dirt and allow the passage of lubrication. Kingpin had earlier been used but has been replaced partly by ball joints where meeting of caster and camber can be adjusted significantly improving the behavior of the vehicle, stability and comfort of ride.
