Relief Composite Ball Joints Specified for XB8

The XRAY 352666 Composite Relief Steering Ball Joint is produced to suit the XB8 chassis and is supplied as two matching parts. Each joint uses a resilient composite to absorb impact while delivering consistent steering feel. The design accepts 6.8mm pivot balls or ball studs to ensure correct articulation in the steering linkage.

Balance of Precision and Longevity

The relief contour reduces contact friction so steering remains responsive and less prone to sticking under load. The composite material was chosen to resist racing stresses, offering a reliable replacement option for routine maintenance or setup changes.

Compatibility Advice and Installation Hints

These joints are compatible with XRAY XB8 steering geometry and fit M5 turnbuckles used on the platform. During installation check for proper seating and secure thread engagement to avoid slop in the steering system.
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 require special tools to install?

No special tools are required; standard hex drivers and pliers used for XB8 tie rod work are sufficient. Make sure fasteners are tightened to a sensible torque to prevent damage.

Can I upgrade to metal ball joints instead?

Metal joints are available from other suppliers if you need a stiffer, longer lasting option, but composite joints like the XRAY 352666 often provide better impact resistance and less chance of damaging mating parts.

What should I check after fitting them?

After installation confirm smooth steering travel across the range of motion, ensure there is no unwanted play, and verify linkage geometry so toe and Ackermann settings remain as intended.
