how do I create limits so at the pivot point, the stud attached to the ball doesn't overextend into the shroud?

Limit Angle Mate
Just for fun, check out the joystick in the Motion Limiters section of Mike J Wilson's 16 year old site: Of This World
Actually, if you've never seen it, you should download and examine every single thing posted there. It's eye-opening.
thanks a lot Josh, this looks very interesting!!
Try using a limit angle mate between the axes of the base and the rod, 0 to 75 degrees or whatever the maximum angle works out to be.
