  • Patent number: 12552219
    Abstract: A selectively engageable sway bar link for an off-road vehicle that includes a shaft with a first mounting point and a notch that is spaced apart from the first mounting point. The sway bar link includes a slide with a second mounting point and a detent mechanism. The shaft extends through the slide and the slide is selectively movable along the length of the shaft. The detent mechanism includes a locking member that, in a first state, engages the notch on the shaft to arrest movement of the slide relative to the shaft. In a second state, the locking member does not engage the notch. Further, in the first state, the slide is moveable relative to the shaft unless the locking member is longitudinally aligned with the notch in the shaft.

  • Publication number: 20230294470
    Abstract: A ball joint assembly includes a stud and a two-piece cup. The stud has a shank that is connectable to a first vehicle suspension component, and a ball end. The cup is (indirectly) connectable to a second vehicle suspension component, and that holds the ball within. A locking plate prevents the two pieces of the cup from unthreading, and allows the joint to be adjusted as the friction surfaces wear.
