Ball pin bearing is ‘better than OE’ specification!

FAI has continued to develop and increase the range even further. For example, it has been identified that the ball‐pin bearing of some OE plastic cap style link rods can be modified to improve longevity and strength.The part numbers selected are where the OE equivalent shows areas of stress.

Key features include rotational torque and improved bearing and ball‐pin design. The rotational torque has been improved by 55% which means that the ball pin will rotate more freely.

The pull out force test has been improved by 12 % which means that the likelihood of the ball pin being pulled out has been significantly reduced.

Performance of the ball pin bearing now meets and exceeds OE specifications in the FAI Premium Range.
