ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to pin and socket joints for use in the steering and suspension systems of automobiles. The head of the pin is housed in a socket having an aperture through which the pin extends, the aperture being sealed by an annular boot having peripheral portions sealing against the pin and socket respectively.
One of the peripheral portions is engaged in a groove in the pin or socket and the said one peripheral portion has interior passageways leading from the interior of the boot to the base of the groove and exterior passageways leading from the base of the groove to the exterior of the boot.
These passageways facilitate the rapid escape of grease from the boot during excessive power filling of grease into the joint so that the boot is not disengaged from the groove.
