Sizing: Thread size refers to the threaded shank; check the joint bore and spacer requirements separately. RH and LH describe the thread direction.
Dimensions shown are nominal catalogue values. Bore and mounting width are for the bare joint; high misalignment spacers alter the bolt size, mounting width and available articulation. The static radial load is a manufacturer catalogue rating, not a working load limit.
