Car tie rod ball joints

Car tie rod ball joints are critical components in the steering system, enabling smooth movement and control of the vehicle. They are typically made of durable materials to withstand the stress and strain of driving. The ball itself is usually crafted from hardened steel, offering high strength and resistance to wear and tear. This steel ball sits within a socket, which is often made from a steel or aluminum alloy casing. Inside, the ball joint may have a lining of polyurethane, nylon, or Teflon to reduce friction and enhance durability. These materials are chosen for their ability to withstand the forces and movements encountered during driving, ensuring that the vehicle’s steering remains precise and reliable over time.
