Description
Probearing spherical bearing cups are precision-machined from 4130 chromoly steel for maximum strength and durability. Each cup features chamfered snap ring grooves to prevent scarring during installation. We hold a tight ±.0002" tolerance on the cup bore to ensure a true press fit even after welding when used with our brass spherical bearing slug. The brass slug absorbs heat and helps maintain bore integrity, preventing distortion throughout the welding process. Probearing high-misalignment spacers are CNC-machined from heat-treated 17-4 stainless steel and engineered to deliver maximum articulation without compromising strength.

FAQ
What's included?
(1) Probearing Uniball, (1) 4130 Chromoly Uniball Cup, (2) 17-4 heat-treated misalignment spacers, (1) Uniball Snap Ring.
Which kit do I need?
Pick by uniball size, bolt size and mounting width: 1" kits for 1/2", 9/16", 5/8" or 3/4" bolts at 3" width, or the 1-1/2" kit for a 3/4" bolt at 3.575" width. See the table for misalignment.
Does the uniball need grease?
No. The PTFE liner is self-lubricating — don't pack it with grease. Grease holds dirt and can shorten liner life.
Any welding tips?
Use a brass spherical bearing slug in the cup while you weld. It absorbs heat and keeps the bore true, so the bearing still presses in correctly after welding. Press the bearing in after the cup cools.
