  2. Rod end bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_end_bearing

    A rod end bearing, also known as a heim joint (N. America) or rose joint (U.K. 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 90-degree alignment between the ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Ball joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_joint

    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 ...

  5. Crankpin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankpin

    This end of the connecting rod is called the "big end", as opposed to the "small end" or "little end" (which connects to the wrist/gudgeon pin in the piston). The bearing which allows the crankpin to rotate around its shaft is called the "rod bearing". [5] In automotive engines, the most common type of rod bearing is the plain bearing, however ...

  6. Car suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_suspension

    Certain modern vehicles have height adjustable suspension in order to improve aerodynamics and fuel efficiency. Modern formula cars that have exposed wheels and suspension typically use streamlined tubing rather than simple round tubing for their suspension arms to reduce aerodynamic drag. Also typical is the use of rocker-arm, push rod, or ...

  7. Dual pivot steering geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_pivot_steering_geometry

    Dual-pivot steering geometry (also known as virtual pivot) is a geometric arrangement of linkages in the steering of a car designed to reduce or eliminate scrub radius by moving the pivot point of the king pin outboard, in order to improve steering precision and straight line stability.

  8. General Motors EV1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_EV1

    The General Motors EV1 is a battery electric car produced by the American automaker General Motors from 1996 until its demise in 1999.. A subcompact car, the EV1 marked the introduction of mass produced and purpose-built battery electric vehicles.

  9. Connecting rod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connecting_rod

    A connecting rod, also called a 'con rod', [1] [2] [3] is the part of a piston engine which connects the piston to the crankshaft. Together with the crank, the connecting rod converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotation of the crankshaft. [4] The connecting rod is required to transmit the compressive and tensile forces from ...
