ABSTRACT:
A pivot construction for a motor vehicle suspension system according to the present disclosure includes a pair of ball studs having shank portions fitted in the eye at the end of a leaf spring. The heads of the ball studs are each enclosed by a cup-shape polyethylene bearing that is retained within a socket. The sockets for the ball studs are supported by spaced portions of a bifurcated vehicle frame bracket. A pair of first seals retain lubricant within the bearings and a pair of second seals prevent the entry of contaminates into the spring eye that might corrode the surfaces of the shank portions of the ball studs.
