Method for manufacturing ball joint involves rolling in free edge of housing and exerting axial forces oppositely on housing and joint body to break down linear pretension in bearing shell

摘要

The method involves rolling in the free edge region of the housing (3) which protrudes axially over the insert ring (4). After this axial forces are directed oppositely on the housing and the joint body (1) to brake down the linear pretension existing in the rolling area of the bearing shell (2) which engages with the edge of the housing.
