Thus, these ball joints allow to turn with no restrictions in two perpendicular planes while at the same time not allowing for the translation movement which together with the mentioned above characteristics improves vehicle handling, stability and ride comfort. GMC Jimmy cars mostly have upper and lower ball joints; the additional ball joints in the rear suspension depend on the model.
