ABSTRACT:
A ball-and-socket joint for motor vehicles is presented, which has a ball pivot (1), which comprises at least one joint ball (4) accommodated rotatably and/or pivotably in a bearing shell (2) of a housing (3), and a pivot section (5). A sealing bellows (6), whose first edge area (7) is fastened to the housing (3) and whose second edge area (8) has a sliding connection with a thrust ring (9) fixed on the pivot section (5), is used to seal the joint components. A protective cover (11), which is used to seal the thrust ring area as well as for shielding against damaging heat radiation and against the effects of splash water or corrosive media, is inserted between a surface of the thrust ring (9) and the surface of a motor vehicle component (10), which said surface faces the said surface of the thrust ring.
