About Upper Ball Jointss
The Lotusupper ball joint is an important component of a motor vehicle’s suspension system. it works in a similar fashion to the hip joint of a human being. Depending on the make and model of the vehicle, there are either two or four ball joints. If there are only two, these are located at the bottom of the wheel hub. The Lotusupper ball joint is present in vehicles with a “shock and springs” suspension system.
The Lotusupper ball joint is made from a metal ball that is contained in a metal capsule. The upper ball joint can move horizontally, vertically and can also rotate, acting as a shock absorber. The Lotusupper ball joint is almost always fitted to the front suspension only, although in some higher model vehicles they are also fitted to the rear suspension.
Upper ball joints become worn over time, as with most motor car components, especially if their rubber casing cracks, allowing lubricant to leak out or dirt and/or water to get in.
Indicators that an Lotusupper ball joint may have suffered damage and lost its effectiveness are the existence of a banging noise when the car travels over uneven roads, steering problems and excessive wear on the edges of the tyres.
Lotus trivia
- The Lotus Elise has been consistently voted as the best all-round sports car in the world, partly due to its lightweight design. It only weighs 1960lbs!
- Sports cars have low seating, and all Lotus vehicles have seating that is so low that the average driver often has issues with getting in and out. While there are many positives to driving a Lotus, even they recommend a test drive before committing to a purchase.
- The original Lotus cars were sold as kit cars so that buyers could avoid paying purchase tax. It wasn't until 1970 that Lotus started selling a model that didn't come as a kit...the Elan Plus Two.
- Elon Musk called the Lotus Esprit S1 one of the main inspirations for the Tesla Cybertruck, and he owns an S1.
- The Lotus logo is very unusual, and there are conflicting answers to the meaning behind many of the strange elements. One of those elements is the letters A, B, C, and D, all sitting on top of each other. One suggestion is that this comes from the initials of the founder: Anthony Colin Bruce Chapman.
