Abstract
A ball joint (28) includes a socket assembly (60) that provides a locking feature designed to work in combination with the ball stud to retain a rotatable connection between the ball stud (30) and the ball socket. The socket assembly includes a socket housing (62) and an elastic retaining member (82) that cooperate to prevent ball stud disengagement under operating loads. The socket housing includes a sidewall (65) that has an extended length relative to some conventional socket housings, and the elastic member is disposed in a circumferential groove formed in an outer surface of the ball socket at a location corresponding to the extended length.
