[0002] The status of cars is becoming more and more irreplaceable, and it has become the most widely used means of transportation at this stage. The development of cars has also made great achievements in recent years. The ball head of the car suspension arm is the most common and basic part of the car. It mainly plays a longitudinal and lateral transmission role in the suspension arm. The smooth sliding between the ball pin and the ball seat is the basic condition to ensure the normal use of the ball head.
[0003] Although there are many types of ball pin seats for automobile suspension arms on the market, they generally have corresponding dust covers to improve their dustproof performance. However, the existing dust covers have weak axial load resistance, which can easily lead to excessive axial deformation, resulting in excessive damping of the rotation of the ball pin and interference. For special models such as pickup trucks, the core shaft can only rotate circumferentially. Ordinary dust covers cannot meet the design requirements, which affects the working performance of the entire suspension system, and thus the applicability and practicality are limited.
