Making ball joints?

[antnee]

Is there a fairly easy way to make ball joints? The type that you put a screw through, like on the bottom of most shocks.

Like these

Can you provide more info as to what exactly are you aiming to achieve?

Ball joints (although for the record your picture is of a rose joint) are fairly standard items, made by a number of manufacturers in different sizes.

I'd be surprised if you couldn't get something off the shelf that does what you want.

Are you talking about the plastic bit or the ball itself?

just take a look at the Team Extreme webshop as their Predator-car uses lots of ball-joints. I still have some in my spares-box after racing a Pred for some yaers and they allready became very handy

I ended up buying some.

My intention was to make some if possible as its for a uni project, and we have been told to try and make everything.
