ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a ball joint, especially for steering or transmission rods of motor vehicles. The ball joint includes a bearing shell (3) made of plastic which has a lower shell (5) and an upper shell (6) for the support of a ball head (2) in a joint housing (4). The lower shell (5) is turned toward a housing opening (8) for a ball stud (1) and the upper shell (6) is supported through a spring element (11) against a housing cover (9). The lower shell (5) is connected elastically with the outer rim of the upper shell (6). To produce a technically improved ball joint of which the mounting is facilitated, of which the lower shell (5) and the upper shell (6) are secured from rotation in relation to each other, and of which has better operational properties, it is proposed that the lower shell (5) and the upper shell (6) be joined in one piece by at least one connection stop ( 12).
