Joint Assembly
Material: Forged Alloy Steel
A crucial universal linkage that connects steering shafts at varying angles, ensuring smooth and continuous rotational movement.
Shaft Lower
Material: High-Strength Steel Tubing / Forged Steel
The lower section of the steering column, optimized for superior torque transmission and impact absorption.
Yoke
Material: Forged Carbon Steel
A robust U-shaped component that firmly holds the spider, built to withstand high torque and provide structural integrity.
Spider & Cup
Spider
Material: Carburized Bearing Steel / Forged Steel
The central cross-shaped pivot and bearing caps, precision-forged to minimize friction and ensure seamless steering articulation.
Cup
Material: Forged Carbon Steel
A robust U-shaped component that firmly holds the spider, built to withstand high torque and provide structural integrity
Coupler
Material: Forged Steel Inserts
A flexible joint designed to effectively absorb road vibrations and shocks, enhancing overall steering comfort.
Inner tie rod socket (ITR Housing)
Material: High-strength forged steel or carbon alloy steel (such as S45C or SCM440)
An inner tie rod socket (when referring to the vehicle component itself) is a critical ball-and-socket joint that connects the steering rack to the outer tie rod.
Inner tie rod ball pin
Material: POSNH9
The inner tie rod ball pin forms the flexible ball-and-socket joint connecting the steering rack to the outer tie rod or steering knuckle.
