The \u003cstrong\u003eM6 ball joint socket\u003c\/strong\u003e (10mm ball, female thread) connects to your gas strut's threaded rod end, while the integrated \u003cstrong\u003eM8 mounting stud\u003c\/strong\u003e (male thread) bolts straight into your bracket or panel — no separate stud or extra nut needed on that side. A safety-catch clip retains the ball and allows a swivel angle of roughly 15–18°.

It's also called an angled ball joint, and it's the correct term if you're comparing parts between suppliers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I know I've got the right reach length?\u003c\/strong\u003e Measure your existing part from the centre of the ball to the end of the threaded socket. We stock several reach lengths in this thread\/ball combination — the reach measurement is the easiest way to confirm you're ordering the right one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use these outdoors?\u003c\/strong\u003e Zinc plated for sheltered outdoor use.
