ABSTRACT:
The subject of the invention is a tie rod joint for motor vehicles for the linking of the inner ends of two tie rods to a steering rod, actuated by a steering gear, the inner ends of the tie rods being shaped as formed joint parts, which project in each case between an outer and an inner bearing part, while between the joint parts and the outer bearing part on the one hand, and the inner bearing part on the other, inlays are arranged, and while the outer bearing part, the joint parts, the inlays and the inner bearing part are prestressed by at least one tension bolt fastened to the steering rod. To make possible the production, without cutting, of all construction parts of the tie rod joint, and to provide a spring joint movable to all sides, it is proposed that the tie rods (1, 2) be profiled in U-form and their joint parts be designed as offsets (6), the outer bearing part be designed as a pot-form outer bearing shell (9, 15), into which the offsets (6) project, the inner bearing part be designed as a socket-form inner bearing shell (10, 16), and the inlays (7, 8; 21, 22) be produced from a spring-elastic material.
