Durable Steel Pivot Balls Built for Track Use

Created for the XRAY XB8, the XRAY 353172 pivot balls are made from hardened steel to withstand demanding running conditions. The 11.0mm size is accurately machined to ensure consistent alignment and dependable suspension operation lap after lap.

Effortless Geometry Changes with XPBS Components

The XRAY Pivot Ball Suspension approach reduces the need for extra tuning hardware by focusing adjustments on kingpin plates while relying on durable pivot balls for repeatable geometry. This keeps setups simple while allowing meaningful changes to handling balance.
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.

Do these pivot balls add significant weight to the arms?

There is a slight increase in unsprung mass compared with lighter materials, but the trade off is much greater wear resistance and more stable geometry under load.

Can they be polished or treated for less friction?

Light polishing and corrosion protection are fine, but avoid aggressive material removal which could change tolerances. Use suitable coatings sparingly.

What setup benefits come from using steel pivot balls?

Steel pivot balls keep your suspension geometry stable under heavy cornering and braking, which helps maintain consistent steering and predictable handling across runs.

Are replacement intervals shorter on rough tracks?

Rough surfaces increase wear on all suspension parts. Inspect pivot balls more often after coarse running and replace if you detect play or surface damage.

Do these require matched seals or spacers?

Use the original XRAY spacers and seals where specified to maintain proper fit and to protect contact areas from dirt and debris.
