The objective of the present invention is to provide a ball joint dust cover that, even if the diameter difference between a ball stud and a socket becomes smaller, maintains the shape of the dust cover in a bell shape, is able to solve the problem of the small-diameter opening section of the dust cover dropping off of the ball stud, and has favorable durability. As a result, in an elastic material ball joint dust cover, which is such that a spherical head section formed at one end of the ball stud is held in the socket, the shaft at the other end of the ball stud is clamped/affixed in a knuckle, a first-end, large-diameter opening section is affixed/held at the outer peripheral surface of the socket, and an other-end, small-diameter opening section at which a reinforcing ring is embedded is held at the shaft, the configuration is such that the reinforcing ring comprises a cylindrical section and a flange section extending towards the shaft from the knuckle-side end of the cylindrical section and is integrated with the small-diameter opening section in a manner so that the lateral surface at the knuckle side of the flange section and the inner peripheral surface of the flange section facing the peripheral surface of the shaft are exposed. |
