⚙️ Key Features

• For production order 5160 onwards
• 0.023 kg
• 58 applications across six engine series
• Supersedes 20460268, catalogued earlier as a ball joint

🔌 Function

Connects a control rod to its lever through a pivoting ball, letting the linkage move through an angle while transmitting the movement.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Slack or lost motion in the linkage before anything moves
• Knocking or rattling from the joint as the control is worked
• Ball felt notchy, stiff or dry when moved by hand
• Rubber boot split, letting water and grit into the joint
• Corrosion or seizure so the linkage moves stiffly or sticks

🛠️ Service Notes

• Check the production order break before ordering - engines built earlier take a different joint
• A ball joint in a control linkage should be renewed rather than adjusted out once there is play in it
• Check the boot and the mating rod threads at the same time
