They serve as the pivot connection where suspension arms, links, and turnbuckles attach to the chassis and axle housings, and they fit CR12, Enduro12 Trail Truck, MT12 Monster Truck, MT12 Monster Van, and RC10 4X4 Pickup Truck vehicles that share this pivot ball size. Each ball is machined from hardened steel and finished smooth so linkage ends pivot freely without binding, which keeps the suspension moving predictably as it articulates over rocks and uneven terrain. Worn or undersized pivot balls introduce play into the suspension links, leading to inconsistent handling and premature wear on the mating plastic ends, so replacing them restores tight, accurate suspension geometry. This part is intended as a direct replacement for worn factory pivot balls, matching the original diameter and mounting thread rather than altering suspension travel. Balls are included in the quantity typically needed for a suspension linkage rebuild, making this a convenient restock item for ongoing maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Associated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56090148176194,"sku":"ASC41033","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0819\/5063\/8402\/files\/41033_lg.jpg?v=1788556135","url":"https:\/\/www.powerhobby.com\/products\/team-associated-asc41033-cr12-pivot-balls-5-0mm","provider":"PowerHobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
