WHY SIDEM
BALL JOINTS?
Due to the constant motions and forces, a premium ball joint is what you need for a proper repair job. That’s where Sidem is the go-to option to get your vehicle safe and comfortably on the road again!
Every moving mechanical part is subject to wear. We reduce this to an absolute minimum by rolling the pivoting ball for a perfect finish, even adding extra surface strength. Combined with a high-quality POM-insert and top-of-the-market lifetime grease (co-engineered with Klüber lubrification), durability is ensured.
Still, there’s a second primary enemy which can cause early ball joint failure: water! Once it makes its way inside a joint, corrosion will wear it down rapidly. Our high quality dust covers, made from chloroprene rubber with a special design for anti-torsion, prevent this with ease!
The constant high forces and impacts on ball joints call for a strong part. Using Chromium steel, cold forged with rolled ball & thread, our though ball joints will guarantee your safety!
Ball joints play an essential role in your vehicle’s suspension system. They are spherical bearings that connect the wheel suspension control arms to the steering knuckles which directs the wheels. Also integrated in many other parts like tie rod ends, axial joints, stabilizer links,… they are constantly working to guide your vehicle on the road safely.
Ball joints are spherical bearings which allow both smooth rotational and tilting movements. As they share the same working principles, you can consider them the hip joints in your vehicle.
Because ball joints allow these movements, they are used as the pivot between the control arm and the steering knuckle, allowing both steering (rotation) and suspension (tilting) movements.
Depending on the suspension design, the lower ball joint also has the important task of carrying the vehicle’s weight. Needless to say, these load carrying ball joints are vital for both your comfort and safety!
