1.Truck ball head: you don’t know the chassis core component
1.1 What is a truck ball head?
Truck Ball Joint is the core connecting piece of vehicle suspension system, composed of ball head seat, ball pin, dust cover, grease and other components, which undertakes three core functions of wheel steering, shock absorption conduction and load support. As the “joint” of heavy duty truck, its quality directly affects vehicle handling, fuel efficiency and driving safety.
1.2 Key performance indicator analysis
Compressive strength: 30%-40% load of the whole vehicle (MIVO heavy industry products up to 15 tons).
Wear-resisting coefficient: the surface hardness of high quality alloy steel after carburizing is HRC58-62.
Steering Angle: Professional grade products support ±45° steering range.
Temperature resistance: -40℃ to +120℃ environment stable work.
1.3 Common fault warning signals
Your ball head may be in urgent need of replacement when:
✅ Virtual position of steering wheel increased (free travel >15mm).
✅ Obvious metal tapping sound when passing the speed bump.
✅ Abnormal partial tire wear (unilateral wear > 2mm/ 10,000 km).
✅ Chassis slack with steering hysteresis.
2.The selection of professional manufacturers of the five gold criteria
2.1 Material process determines life span
Substrate selection: Comparison of fatigue life difference between SCM435 chromium molybdenum steel and ordinary 45# steel (300% increase in the former).
Heat treatment process: 3D carburizing technology VS traditional single side treatment.
Sealing performance: triple dustproof design (metal retainer + fluorine rubber + labyrinth structure).
2.2 Verification of factory production strength
As an OEM manufacturer with 30 years of experience, our strengths are:
▶ Automatic forging production line: 2000 sets per day, tolerance control ±0.01mm.
▶ 12 quality inspection procedures: including three coordinate inspection, salt spray test (500 hours), bench test (500,000 cycles).
▶ Patented technology: self-lubricating ceramic coating.
2.3 Adaptive solutions
Full vehicle coverage: from light trucks (Foton/Dongfeng) to heavy trucks (Mercedes-Benz Actros/ Volvo FH).
Special working condition customization: anti-freezing type in alpine area/enhanced version of mining truck/durable model for long distance transportation.
Intelligent matching system: Input model code to automatically push the matching model.

FAQ
Look for three anti-counterfeiting marks: laser anti-counterfeiting code (available on the official website), thermal color change mark of the packaging box, and steel seal code inside the component.
It is recommended to check every 100,000 kilometers, but the actual life is greatly affected by load and road conditions.We provide free testing equipment loan service.
It is recommended to check the dust cover every 3 months in high humidity areas. -60℃ special grease can be selected for cold zone users (free upgrade service)
