Ball joints, ball sockets and rod connectors transfer movement between the gear lever, the gearbox and the load-sensing linkage of the suspension. A ball socket to DIN 71802 snaps onto a ball pivot and allows the linkage to move through an angle without binding. They are chosen by ball diameter, thread size and thread hand, since left and right hand versions are not interchangeable.
