A radial joint is provided for a motor vehicle with a metallic housing (1), through the opening (2) on one side of which a ball pivot (3) can be inserted into an interior space (4) of the housing (1). The joint ball (5) of the ball pivot (3) is mounted pivotably and rotatably in a bearing area of the interior space (4), and a pivot section (6) of the ball pivot (3), which section is connected to the joint ball (5), protrudes from the housing (1) through opening (2) of housing (1). The housing (1) has, in the area of its opening (2), a section (7), which is prepared by machining and which is deformed by a cold forming process. Furthermore, a process for manufacturing a radial joint is provided that includes the steps: manufacturing of the housing blank, machining of section (7) close to the opening (2) of housing (1), inserting the joint ball (5) of ball pivot (3) into the interior space (4) of housing (1), cold forming of the opening-side edge section of housing (1) until a metallic overlap (13), which guarantees a sufficient extraction strength for the joint to be manufactured and thus makes possible a positive-locking connection between the components contacting each other, is attained between the joint ball (5) and housing (1). |
