The ball end is connected to a stud base. The socket body includes sidewall extensions to limit movement of the ball in a first direction and prohibiting movement of the ball stud in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. A retainer secures the ball end within the interior chamber preventing fore and aft movement of the ball stud but allowing rotation movement of the ball end within the chamber.
