Description

723-B 5/8" Spherical Ball Joint Bearing


The 723-B Spherical Ball Joint Bearing is a high-performance 5/8" replacement bearing designed for use in custom chassis and racing applications, including as a direct replacement in our 4059 steering support assembly. This bearing is ideal for racing lawnmowers, go-karts, drift trikes, and other high-stress performance builds.


Often referred to as a Heim joint, this bearing allows for articulated movement while maintaining precise alignment and minimizing deflection under load. It's a significant upgrade over standard rubber or plastic bushings, providing improved handling, better feedback, and long-lasting durability in harsh racing conditions.
