Tune-Focused Composite Ball Joint 5.8

The XRAY 352470-G composite ball joints are supplied as an eight-piece set, injection-molded in a graphite composite material that reduces mass while offering dependable durability. Each joint is engineered to accept 5.8mm pivot balls and to maintain smooth articulation so suspension tuning changes remain consistent across sessions.

Made for competitive and club-level usage, the graphite blend helps lower unsprung mass without sacrificing dimensional stability under load. The consistent molding process aims to ensure repeatable seating so ball engagement stays reliable through multiple events, which supports predictable handling adjustments during tuning.

Fitting these joints is straightforward: they replace standard ball cup elements where 5.8mm pivot balls are used and act as direct-fit parts in compatible steering and suspension linkages. When evaluating setup changes, include their lower mass alongside spring, damper, and roll centre adjustments for a complete tuning picture.

Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some XRAY items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

How do these affect steering feel when tuning?

Their reduced mass and consistent fit can make small differences in transient response; expect subtle changes in steering feedback that should be evaluated along with suspension and tyre settings.

Should I change damper settings after fitting them?

Because they lower unsprung weight slightly, some fine-tuning of damper rebound or compression may help restore the intended chassis motion, but major changes are usually unnecessary.

Do they influence roll centre or only mass?

They primarily affect unsprung mass and joint compliance; roll centre geometry is unchanged, so use them as part of a broader setup approach rather than a roll-centre adjustment tool.

Is handling change immediate or progressive?

Handling differences are generally subtle and may emerge over multiple runs as the rest of the setup interacts with the lighter joints, so test incrementally when making adjustments.
