ABSTRACT:
In a ball joint, a ball seat member is fitted into a housing, a ball stud having a spherical head is rotatably received in a cavity of the ball seat member, and a dust cover extends between a stem portion of the ball stud and a peripheral part of the open end of the housing, the end of the dust cover associated with the housing is held between an external flange provided in the ball seat member and the annular end surface of the open end of the housing. Because the end of the dust cover is firmly clamped and pressed over its entire circumference between the annular end surface and the external flange, a reliable clamping action can be produced. Because the securing process can be accomplished at the same time as the process of fitting the ball seat member into the housing without in any way complicating the assembling process, the material and fabrication costs can be reduced, and an economical ball joint can be provided.
