2. Rod end bearing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_end_bearing

   A rod end bearing, also known as a heim joint (North America) or rose joint (UK and elsewhere), is a mechanical articulating joint. Such joints are used on the ends of control rods, steering links , tie rods , or anywhere a precision articulating joint is required, and where a clevis end (which requires perfect alignment between the components ...

3. Ball joint - Wikipedia

   A typical ball joint with cutaway view (right) An inner tie rod end cut open to expose the ball joint. In an automobile, ball joints are spherical bearings that connect the control arms to the steering knuckles, and are used on virtually every automobile made. [1] They bionically resemble the ball-and-socket joints found in most tetrapod ...

4. Steering linkage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steering_linkage

   The steering linkage which connects the steering gearbox to the front wheels consists of a number of rods. These rods are connected with a socket arrangement similar to a ball joint, called a tie rod end, allowing the linkage to move back and forth freely so that the steering effort will not interfere with the vehicles up-and-down motion as the ...

5. Lewis Heim - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_Heim

   Heim's bearing consisted of a ball with a drilled-through hole, a threaded shaft (rod) that contained a circular head forming the outer race, and two soft-metal bushings that sealed the ball into the head. The threaded shaft allowed the rod end of the bearing to be connected to a moving component and adjusted as necessary for a tight connection.

6. Pitman arm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitman_arm

   In automotive or truck steering systems, the Pitman arm acts as a linkage attached to the steering box (see recirculating ball) sector shaft, [1] it converts the angular motion of the sector shaft into the linear motion needed to steer the wheels. The arm is supported by the sector shaft and supports the drag link or center link with a ball ...

7. Recirculating ball - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recirculating_ball

   Recirculating ball, also known as recirculating ball and nut or worm and sector, is a steering mechanism commonly found in older automobiles, off-road vehicles, and some trucks. Most newer cars use the more economical rack and pinion steering instead, but some upmarket manufacturers (such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz ) held on to the design until ...
