摘要

A steering shaft double joint is provided for motor vehicles where the shaft ends are connected non-rotatably in the joint. Each of the shaft ends is movably mounted in a housing connecting two joints with the shaft ends being connected by a ball joint so that the ball is rotatable around a midpoint in a receptacle of a shaft end and is slightly movably mounted in a direction of the shaft axis of the other shaft end. The ball is spring mounted in the receptacle and the receptacle contains and surrounds a bushing with elastic material located between the receptacle and bushing.
