Types of suspension ball jointsBy type of construction, on which the part is set:
- Swivel. Compression element, so is usually installed in the upper part of suspension on the front-wheel cars.
- Bearing. Tension element, installed in the lower part of the suspension.

- Assembled. The joint is fastened by bolts to the lever. At fault the element can be replaced, disassembling the unit.
- Sealed. Molded structure, in case of failure is replaced completely. It costs more than the assembled option.
The most common design of the sealed part consists of a housing with a spherical hole, and a stud with a ball at one end and threaded on the other. On the stud there is an attached boot that does not allow penetration of dirt and foreign objects. In most cases the assembly is made of steel and the contact surfaces are covered with polymer material. Spherical shape hole is filled with grease to reduce wear and tear of parts.
