Ball stud Ø8; L=27; M6

Ball stud Ø8 with M6 thread, 27 mm for trailer

Ball stud in size Ø8 with an M6 thread. The length stated for the gas spring end piece is 27 mm. Reference number 92292. The rest of the family runs M5, M6 and M8 threads with lengths from 18 to 37 mm, so the thread and the length both have to match.

Ball studs and gas springs

The end piece of a gas spring clips onto the ball, so the spring can pivot as it extends and retracts instead of being loaded sideways. The thread has to suit the mounting and the length decides how far the ball sits out from it, so a stud is chosen on both figures. Keep the ball clean when a new end piece is pressed on, and check that the stud is tight in its thread.
