摘要：This study describes the analysis and investigation of the causes of the sudden failure of a suspensionsystem ball joint. The axis of the ball joint element showed a complete fracture which occurred midway between thetop and bottom section changes of the element. It is seen the ball joint of this car fails suddenly without any sign ofconsumption and this case is a dangerous as well as disturbing factor for traffic and driver. So there should besomething else supports car when the ball-joint fails. This research has a modification of this ball joint for this purpose.Design of ball joint is modified and stress raisers are removed from the previous design of ball joint. Design of thepresent ball joint has been improved and from obtained results we can say that the design of ball joint is modified andwithin safety limit.
