The ball hub and joint body are paired. Do not interchange them.

– Tip ball hub out of ball cage via ball track -arrows-.
– Check joint body, ball hub, ball cage and balls for pitting and

traces of seizing.

Excessive circumferential backlash in the joint is noticeable dur‐

ing load change jolts. In this case the joint must be replaced.

Smoothing and traces of wear of the balls are no reason to renew

the joint.
Installing

– Insert hub into cage via the two chamfers. The hub can be

installed in any position. Press balls into cage.

The ball hub has two different distances between the ball tracks:

a smaller one and a larger one.

– Insert hub complete with cage and balls into joint body, making

sure that a smaller gap -b- faces open side of joint body.

– Also make sure that chamfer on inner circumference of ball

hub is visible after swinging it into place.
