Inner race in CV Joint Assembly
Material: Forged Alloy Steel
Transfers torque efficiently from the drive shaft to the ball bearings.
Cage in CV Joint Assembly
Material: High-Strength Steel
Accurately aligns and retains the steel balls during complex articulation.
Ball, Boot, Half Shaft
Balls
Material: Bearing Steel
Ensures smooth and continuous power transmission at varying drive angles.
Boot and Half Shaft
Material: Forged Steel
The rugged half shaft transmits structural power.
Tripod CV Joint Assembly
A Tripod Joint is a specific type of Constant Velocity (CV) joint that requires to survive the high-torque and high-cycle environment of a vehicle's drivetrain.
Material: high-strength steel alloys and specialized hardening processes.
Spider (Internal Hub)
Material: Forged Alloy Steel or Induction Hardening
Connects the drivetrain shaft to the bearings, engineered for high torque capacity.
Tripod
Bearing Case
Material: Carburizing
Houses the needle rollers to facilitate smooth linear plunging movements.
Needle Roller
Material: Bearing Steel through-hardened
Significantly reduces friction inside the bearing case during operation.
Retainer
Material: Spring Steel
Securely holds the needle rollers in their exact positions.
Front Wheel Hub
Material: Forged Steel
The robust central mounting point that supports the wheel, brake rotor, and wheel bearing.
Stabilizer Link in the Suspension Assembly
Material: Forged Steel / Aluminum Alloy
Connects the sway bar to the suspension, effectively reducing vehicle body roll.
Ball Stud
Material: Forged Alloy Steel
Serves as a heavy-duty pivot point allowing flexible movement in suspension linkages.
Pillow Ball
Material: Steel Alloy
A high-performance spherical bearing that provides rigid and highly precise suspension articulation.
Outer Race
Material: Bearing Steel / High-Carbon Chromium Steel
The robust outer ring of a bearing or joint assembly in Drivetrain / Suspension (Wheel Bearings or CV Joints). It provides a highly durable and smooth surface for internal rolling elements to handle heavy loads.
Spindle Plate
Material: Forged Steel / Cast Iron
A heavy-duty structural mounting plate that securely supports the wheel hub and steering components, ensuring maximum driving stability in the Suspension / Axle Assembly.
Caliper Piston
Material: Steel, Aluminum
A vital component that forces the brake pads against the rotor for reliable stopping power. It is designed to withstand high temperatures and control brake vibration.
