<p>A ball-and-socket or a bushing joint for a motor vehicle. The ball-and-socket joint has an essentially annular joint housing with an essentially cylindrical interior space in which a ball socket is arranged. The ball socket is fixed within the joint housing by a sealing ring and a ball, of a ball pin, is held within the ball socket. A surface of the sealing ring facing the ball socket has a radially outer portion that is smooth and a radially inner portion in contact with the ball socket that is serrated secures the ball socket from rotating within the joint housing. The ball-and-socket joint offers advantage with regard to the reduction in size, weight and manufacturing costs and the shorter tolerances in the area of the housing cover simplify production of the components and proportionally reduce manufacturing rejects.</p> |
