ABSTRACT:
This invention provides an improved hinge joint assembly for connecting linkage components on vehicles. The assembly includes a pin having a lubricant chamber therein with appropriate seals provided to prevent loss of lubricant and the entrance of deleterious materials into the pivotal parts of the joint. The pin is attached to one mounting bracket whereby when distortion between the mounting brackets occurs, all the axial loading is taken in the one bracket avoiding damage to the joint and maintaining the integrity of the seals.
