ABSTRACT:
A ball-joint includes a housing with an inwardly facing projection, a ball socket secured to the housing near an end thereof, and a ball pin engaged in the ball socket. A portion of the ball socket extends towards the ball, so as to at least partially surround the ball, and has a plurality of slots extending in a meridional direction towards the free end of the ball socket, so as to form tongues between the slots. The ball socket has an external groove in a portion thereof extending in a direction away from the ball, which engages the projection of the housing, so that the ball pin may be inserted into the ball socket by elastically deforming the tongues, and subsequently the ball socket may be slid into the housing.
