The present invention relates to a steering metallic ball joint mechanism which eliminates undesirable ball socket separation resulting in complete loss of vehicle control. The installation further includes an emulsion system with tanks, system pumps, coolers, and vacuum band filters andor pressure band filters as well as a rolling oil system which contains the afore-mentioned components, such that the filters are extremely fine, reversible-flow filters. This process can be carried on throughout a hierarchy of windows as the user browses for a destination window for the drag operation. Plural openings are formed in the polymeric passivation layer to expose the plural conductor pads.
