1. A ball joint housing, which pivotably supports a ball head of a ball stud received in an inner space thereof and in which a dust cover is installed to prevent foreign substances from entering into the inner space, the ball joint housing comprising:
a receiving limit providing portion for providing a limit in receiving the ball head in the inner space; a contact portion integrally formed with the receiving limit providing portion, wherein the dust cover is brought into contact with the contact portion; and a deformation portion integrally formed with the contact portion; wherein a process in which the deformation portion is deformed inwardly proceeds when the ball head is received in the inner space, wherein the ball head received in the inner space is prevented from being separated by the process, wherein the deformation portion is provided with a first thickness portion and a second thickness portion which are sequentially positioned in an upward direction from the contact portion, and wherein the first thickness portion is provided to have a thickness equal to or greater than that of the contact portion such that when the process is completed and the dust cover is brought into contact with the contact portion, an outer surface of the first thickness portion does not protrude outside an outer surface of the contact portion and thereby the dust cover is brought into contact with the contact portion without interfering with the first thickness portion after the process is completed. |
