Kugelgelenk

摘要

A ball joint includes a retaining ring press-fitted to a shank of a ball stud, and a boot having first and second annular beads mounted to the retaining ring and a ball socket, respectively. In the ball joint, a very small clearance left between press-fit portions of the shank and the retaining ring is filled with a sealing agent. Thus, a portion where the retaining ring is mounted to the shank of the ball stud can be simply brought into a highly reliable sealed state.
