This document discusses standards and approaches for ball joint durability testing. It describes various SAE J193 ball joint tests, including impact strength, tensile load, rotation and oscillation, torque, axial end movement, and cam-out strength tests. It also discusses multi-axial testing capabilities needed to test ball joint assemblies for fatigue and heat treatment. The document focuses on determining the realistic loading environment for a front lower control arm ball joint through strain gauge testing and translating those loads into reproducible laboratory tests using techniques like peak valley slicing and remote parameter control.
