Sintered self-lubricating bearings are components we use inside ball joints and tie rod ends. They are responsible for holding the ball sphere in place as it goes through its articulation cycles. Sintered self-lubricating bearings are more durable and have a higher load capacity and heat resistance compared to the polymer bearings used in the vehicle’s original equipment. Our sintered self-lubricating bearings also allow the joint to be serviceable, thus providing an extended service life.
