Use these linkages to create inline pivoting connections. The ball-and-socket design allows the ball stud to swivel. All have a liner (also known as a boot) that not only keeps out contaminants, but also acts as a cushion to reduce vibration. They don't come lubricated, so you'll need to lubricate during installation and on an ongoing basis.
