ABSTRACT:
An elastic connection of an axial joint with the connecting linkage of a motor vehicle steering gear, comprises a housing which has an opening at each end with one end opening into a spherical cavity for supporting the ball head of an axial joint and the opposite end opening into a cylindrical cavity. The cylindrical cavity contains an inner metal sleeve which is adapted to be connected to a connecting linkage which is held in position by an elastic bearing bushing which is firmly adhered thereto, such as by vulcanizing. The outer periphery of the elastic bushing is secured to a steering part secured in the cylindrical recess of the housing. The inner sleeve includes an annular collar adjacent the opening at the cylindrical recess end of the housing at a location adjacent the end which is formed with a downturned flange of both the housing and the outer bearing sleeve part. The elastic bearing bushing has a lip portion which engages over an end of the inner sleeve and another lip portion which engages over the collar and has a finishing surface opposed to the inturned flanges of the outer sleeve and the housing. The inner end of the outer sleeve abuts against the partition wall separating the two cavities in the housing and the elastic bearing bushing is advantageously engaged with this end.
