The Ball Joint of GMC Yukon vehicles is an important component that links control arms to the steering knuckle permitting the latter to rotate only, but not translate. Usual made from steel, a ball joint contains a bearing stud and socket that is sealed in protective rubber-like boot for minimizing the influence of dirt and facilitating lubricant circulation. These components have largely displaced the old kingpin design as it provides them with more caster and camber angle adjustability without the inclusion of the unwanted flexibility thus refining the vehicle handling, stability, and ride comfort. Contemporary ball joints feature one of the following constructions: they are lubricated once and for all during production; they incorporate improved bearing design, as well as improved staphyloma seals of dust boote for increased time between major services.
