Overview
Pivot balls are the small spherical hardware that let links and shock ends rotate without binding. This pack contains 6.8mm non-flanged steel pivot balls for the sway bar and shock ends on the Tekno EB48 1/8 scale 4WD electric buggy.
Once a pivot ball wears or scores, the ball cup around it gets loose and the connection picks up play. That play shows up as a sway bar that does not act consistently or shock ends that feel sloppy, so fresh balls are a cheap way to tighten the whole car back up.
