Adjustable protective cap arrangement for a ball joint in a vehicle

Abstract

An adjustable protective cap arrangement for a ball joint in a vehicle, comprising a main part and a cap part. The main part is configured to surround a ball joint lock nut, the main part having a central through hole which extends axially through the main part and which is configured to receive a portion of a ball joint stud projecting through and beyond the ball joint lock nut. The cap part is configured to be connected to an end portion of the main part to form a closed end of the protective cap arrangement. When the cap part has been connected to the main part, the height of the protective cap arrangement is adjustable by adjustment of the axial position of the cap part relative to the main part, thereby enabling accommodation of different ball joint stud heights.
