A ball joint assembly for control arm. The ball joint assembly has an upper portion with a ball socket and stud centered about a first centerline. A radial extension that is connected to the upper portion supports a mounting body with a second centerline and an outer diameter that fits within an aperture in the control arm. A threaded shaft depends from the mounting body and receives a nut to tighten against the control arm until the first centerline of the ball joint assembly is fixed in a desired position.

Control arm and adjustable ball joint

The disclosure concerns a control arm and a ball joint assembly that are adjustable relative to each other via a fastener or threaded element passing through an over-dimensioned aperture in the arm body and connecting the ball joint assembly in a desired position on the arm body. The control arm mounts to a vehicle in the usual manner and the position of the ball joint assembly is then adjustable as needed in order to set a desired camber.
