A suspension component that provides a Hibbett point, allowing the steering knuckle to move up and down as well as turn in response to steering input. The ball fits into a socket housing that is attached to the control arm and the stud on the other end of the ball is attached to the steering knuckle. A dustcover is installed over the ball and socket assembly to keep dirt out and lubricant in.
An adjustment to bring parts or components into a line or proper coordination.
Electronic feedback system in which the answers provide constant information on what is taking place in the engine; the state of the engine control computer system when it is working normally, at full operating temperature and normal speeds with the oxygen sensor switching. The fuel injection quantity is determined by the set of inputs from the engine control computer sensors, most specifically the oxygen sensor in the exhaust stream. A closed loop system samples its output and uses that sampling to modify the next inputs.
