Abstract: A ball joint is provided for interconnecting a first member of a vehicle to a second member of a vehicle. A housing coupled to a first member includes a cavity. A ball stud coupled to a second member includes a ball end portion received in the cavity and a shank portion extending from the ball end portion projecting from the cavity. A tubular wear member has an inner side surface and an exterior side surface. The inner side surface is sealingly disposed on a portion of the shank portion. An annular seal includes a first end seal portion sealingly engaging the housing around the cavity and a second end seal portion for sealingly engaging the exterior side surface of the tubular wear member. The tubular wear member maintains a seal between the shank portion and the second end seal portion and reduces wear of the annular seal as the ball stud pivots within the cavity.
