High-Precision Pivot Balls for Responsive Suspension

Made for the XRAY XB8, the XRAY 353172 pivot balls are produced from hardened steel to deliver strength and lasting use. These 11.0mm pieces are precision-machined to fit cleanly into the suspension, helping maintain consistent geometry and predictable handling on mixed surfaces.

Suspension Tuning Made Simple with Pivot Ball Design

The XRAY Pivot Ball Suspension (XPBS) concept lets racers fine tune suspension behaviour with minimal extra parts. Using robust pivot balls alongside adjustable kingpin plates makes it straightforward to dial in roll centers and steering characteristics without complex conversions.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some XRAY items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Will these fit the XB8 rear hubs as well as the front?

They are specified for the XRAY XB8 suspension locations. Check your hub and carrier dimensions before swapping front to rear to ensure proper fit and clearance.

How do steel pivot balls compare to aluminium options?

Steel offers superior wear resistance and holds geometry under heavy loads better than softer alloys, though it can add a little weight to the unsprung mass.

Any special installation tips to avoid binding?

Lightly clean contact faces and use the recommended kingpin plate torque. Confirm rotation and clearance through the full suspension travel before running.

Do these need regular replacement or lubrication?

Inspection after heavy use is advised. Steel pivot balls resist wear, but check for burrs or corrosion and replace when you notice play or rough movement.
