A ball and socket joint for steering linkages of motor vehicle steering devices comprises a housing which has an open end with an interior generally spherical recess having a spherical bearing body therein with a cylindrical bore aligned with the open end. The link pin has a cylindrical shank portion extending through the cylindrical bore and terminated in an inner end of semi-spherical configuration which is spaced from the inner end of the recess by a gap and the head portion is spaced from the semi-spherical bearing body by an annular recess. A thrust spring embraces the pin and elastically supports the pin in the bearing body. The thrust spring comprises an outer metal sleeve and an inner metal sleeve with a central elastic sleeve therebetween. |
