ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a boot seal for a ball and socket joint having a boot seal. The boot seal includes a bulb on a sealing lip. The bulb is compressed within a compression nest that is defined between cooperating radial notches that are formed on the socket ceiling and a bearing surface, respectively, when the bearing is fully installed in the housing. The radial notch in the socket ceiling serves to hold the boot seal in place to permit an assembled bearing and a ball stud assembly to be inserted within the cavity and thereby mechanically secure the boot seal within the socket.
