ABSTRACT:
A bearing set for a ball and socket joint comprises an outer sleeve with an upper cavity and a lower cavity, each of the cavities defined by an inner skirt, an upper bearing received in the upper cavity and a lower bearing received in the lower cavity. A compression pre-load is applied when each of the bearings is inserted into its cavity, a cylindrical outer wedge surface of the respective bearing having a greater diameter than a corresponding diameter of the corresponding skirt. The bearing set is subjected to additional compression pre-load when the bearing set and ball stud are inserted into a housing and the housing is closed.
