ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed for pressing a preassembled ball joint cartridge into a bearing eye of a tie rod end, with the ball joint cartridge comprising a ball joint pin, a bearing shell surrounding the joint ball, and a bearing housing that surrounds the bearing shell and is pressed into the bearing eye. In order to be able to press a joint cartridge of this type reliably, exactly, and efficiently into an unmachined bearing eye, the following procedures are performed: the tie rod end with the bearing eye is placed on a receiving device located on a press table. The ball joint cartridge is placed with its bearing housing in the bearing eye in such fashion that initially only the bearing shell in the end conical area engages, with contact, a matching opposite cone of the bearing eye, while the bearing housing of the joint cartridge still has play in the bearing eye. The bearing eye is centered coaxially with respect to a pressing device and aligned axially and perpendicularly with respect thereto. The free end of the pin shaft of the ball joint pin is centered coaxially with respect to the centering device and the pin shaft is pretensioned axially in the pressing device in such fashion that the bearing shell is locked axially in the bearing eye by the ball joint pin. A pressing member of the pressing device is pressed against the bearing housing and presses the housing into the bearing eye.
