Abstract: A bearing for an at least partially spherical component, the bearing including a first portion and a complementary second portion integral with the first portion and joined by a folded-over bridge portion, the first portion and the second portion each including an arcuate inner surface, where the first portion and the second portion are adapted to at least partially surround and provide a compressive spring force against the component to form a joint assembly allowing for rotation of the component, where the first portion and the second portion form a semispherical void around the component, and where the bearing includes a metal substrate and a low friction layer overlying at least one surface of the substrate.
