ABSTRACT:
An axial ball joint is fabricated from a housing having a substantially cylindrical outer surface and a cylindrical cavity which ends at an opening defined by a rim portion of the housing. The rim portion has a larger accumulation of material than elsewhere on the housing so that the housing can be deformed radially inwardly into a portion of the opening. A ball part with a ball portion and shank is inserted into the opening. A resilient socket is provided around the ball as a lining for the cavity. Once the ball portion is seated in the cavity, the rim portion is deformed inwardly toward the shank to retain the ball portion in the cavity. In this way the ball part is inserted from the opening end of the cavity rather than from an opposite end as is known in the art.
