This XRAY 358046 pivot ball is an RC-scale suspension connector made to replace or upgrade pivot link points on small cars and buggies. It is machined from Swiss 7075 T6 aluminium and hard coated to resist wear where smooth articulation and minimal play are important.
The hex seating helps locate the linkage positively, keeping the ball orientation steady under load and making removal and installation easier when using the correct hex driver. Supplied as 2 pcs, these pivot balls suit model builders looking for a compact replacement without assuming a specific chassis fitment.
Installation notes: use a correctly sized hex driver to prevent rounding, inspect mating ball cups and threads for grit or wear before assembly, and confirm free movement after tightening to avoid binding. Small changes at the pivot, like cleaning or swapping a worn ball, can noticeably alter steering feel and suspension compliance so check settings on a test surface before full use.
