This XRAY composite relief ball joint is a compact steering linkage component molded in a graphite composite mixture to balance wear resistance and low friction. The relieved molding around the socket allows the ball to move freely without binding, which helps maintain predictable steering feel under load and in dusty conditions.
The part is designed to accept a 6.8mm pivot ball or ball stud and is supplied as a set of 2 pcs for standard left/right linkage use. Because it is an RC‑scale accessory, it mounts into steering linkages and compatible ball cup holders rather than any full‑size vehicle application.
Installation is straightforward: remove the worn ball cup from the turnbuckle or steering arm and press the replacement joint into the socket, ensuring the mating ball is clean and lightly lubricated if required by your setup. During setup or tuning, check for end‑play and free rotation through the full travel to avoid binding that can affect steering response.
In tuning, use these joints where you want consistent articulation with reduced sticking in contaminated environments; they are suitable for general steering linkages and small adjustable rods on touring cars and similar RC platforms.
