Ball joint taper
Im no engineer, but i was curious of the purpose for the taper on the LCA and tie rod end ball joint. I see that maby the taper allows for a tight fit so it takes the load off or lessens the load on the threaded portion, but I also see the taper being more beneficial for manufacturing.

thoughts?
