Del-Sphere
Pivot Joints:
The
Spohn
Performance Del-Sphere
pivot joint solves the shortcomings of the factory rubber and
aftermarket polyurethane bushings. Our Del-Sphere
pivot joint incorporates a spherical ball which is surrounded by delrin
bushing cups.
Think
of the
Del-Sphere pivot joint as a Delrin bushed
spherical rod end. After over a year of R&D testing here at
Spohn Performance on a streetable spherical joint the Del-Sphere pivot
joint is the final result. Designed and manufactured exclusively by
Spohn Performance, we have taken street suspension performance to the
next level. Our Del-Sphere pivot joint features a one piece forged and
heat treated chrome moly housing, a heat treated and chrome plated
chrome moly spherical ball, Delrin bushing cups, heat treated retainer
washer and snap ring, heat treated and chrome plated chrome moly
threaded adjuster ring, an external grease fitting and a beautiful
silver zinc plated housing finish. The delrin bushing cups absorb shock
and road noise so you get the quiet and smooth ride of a bushing as
well as 28 degrees of rotation! Our Del-Sphere pivot joints will always
ship to you fully assembled, however, we also offer an optional
adjusting tool that will allow you to do two things. First, you can
disassemble the Del-Sphere pivot joint for cleaning, inspection, etc.
Second, you can adjust the amount of friction on the spherical ball. Do
you want a very low friction pivot joint or a very tight pivot joint?
It's up to you, the amount of tension can be easily adjusted
by using our optional adjustment tool
to tighten or loosen the end retainer ring. What that also means is if
over time and miles the tolerances open up you can simply re-adjust the
retainer ring and have your pivot joint as tight as it was the day it
was brand new. We doubt you'll ever need to replace the Delrin bushing
cups, but they certainly can be. Unlike a spherical rod end,
the Del-Sphere pivot joint is 100% rebuildable.
What
is Delrin, and why
did you choose to use it?
Delrin is an acetal homopolymer made by DuPont. It is
characterized as having an excellent combination of physical properties
that make it suitable for numerous applications. With extremely low
moisture absorption and a low coefficient of friction
(self-lubricating), Delrin is uniquely tailored for wear applications
in high humidity or moisture environments. Delrin will maintain
constant physical properties under high moisture conditions and
out-perform nylon or polyurethane under these conditions. Delrin has a
10,000 psi tensile strength and a 120 Rockwell Hardness rating making
it ideal for our Del-Sphere application.
