Abstract
A composite support bearing for the ball of a ball and socket joint comprises a hard plastics bearing member for the ball in the socket and a soft plastics cushion member held by the bearing member so as to be stressed by contact with the ball on assembly of the joint. The bearing member and the cushion member are preferably interlocked to prevent relative rotation.
