Lower ball joint angle capacity
The Civic ball joint looks like a good candidate to use in the front suspension of the reverse trike I'm designing.
If Amazon's weights are anything to go by, they're as light as they get, and will be overkill strength-wise for a 1000 lb vehicle.
Can someone tell me how much angular motion they can accommodate? The rubber boot doesn't look to have any corrugations to speak of so I'm concerned that's because there's not much motion to deal with.
Also, does the ball joint need to be clocked a certain way to get its maximum travel? I watched a few youtubes of Civic BJ replacement and they just popped them in w/o any mention of that.
