ABSTRACT:
A ball joint has an elastomeric bearing which encapsulates the ball end of a stud. The bearing has a preformed molded shape that supports the bearing and the stud in predetermined positions relative to the socket during assembly of the ball joint. The preformed molded shape of the bearing defines a rib extending circumferentially around the bearing and the ball. The rib is inserted into a corresponding cavity defined by a mating inner surface of the socket.
