ABSTRACT:
A suspension ball joint mounting mechanism in which a steering knuckle arranged swivelably in the steering operation is forked at its end by a slit. A stud portion of a ball joint stud assembly is passed through the forked portion of the steering knuckle and fastened in position by bolting, the ball portion of the ball joint stud assembly being pivotally supported to a support seat of a suspension arm so that said both portions are able to make a relative movement to each other. A dust cover is provided to sheath the support seat and steering knuckle. A plate washer is disposed between the entire area of the edge ring face of the lip portion of the dust cover and the corresponding face of the steering knuckle to allow smooth relative sliding movements thereof. Thus, the sealing performance of the joint mechanism is improved, while ensuring wear resistance thereof.
