Abstract
A bearing joint assembly includes a bearing sleeve, a first mount, a pair of second mounts and a fastener. The bearing sleeve extends axially along a centerline and includes a spherical bearing, a first collar and a second collar. The spherical bearing is axially between the first collar and the second collar. An annular channel is formed by and extends axially between the spherical bearing and the first collar. The first mount is mounted on and slidably engages the spherical bearing. The bearing sleeve is axially between the second mounts. The fastener projects through the bearing sleeve and secures the bearing sleeve to the second mounts.
