Abstract: A method for producing a ball joint (18) and/or a chassis component (19), in which a joint ball (1) is made, in which the joint ball (1) is placed in an injection-molding die, in which the joint ball (1) is partially overmolded with a plastic material, and in which the plastic material is hardened to form an injection-molded joint housing (2) for the joint ball (1). A joint housing (2) is formed using the joint ball without a joint pin (10), and the joint ball (1) has respective pole surfaces (3, 4) on two sides remote from one another.

Abstract: A linking rod for a vehicle comprising a basic body (2). The basic body (2) comprises a bearing housing (3) and a joint housing (4) which are spaced apart from one another by a coupling piece (9) of the basic body (2). The bearing housing (3), of the basic body (2). is formed from a first plastic material which is surrounded by an enclosure (7) which is made from a second plastic material that is softer than the first plastic material.

Abstract: A ball and socket joint (1) is provided, for example, for a chassis bearing, with a ball (2), a pivot (3) originating from the ball (2), a housing (4) accommodating the ball, and a sealing bellows (5), which extends between the housing (4) and the pivot (3) and has a housing-side opening (6) and a pivot-side opening (7). The sealing bellows (5) has a circumferential sealing lip (8) for sealing at the pivot-side opening (7). The ball and socket joint (1) has a first guide ring (9), which guides the sealing bellows (5). The first guide ring (9) is arranged at the pivot (3). An especially favorable functional separation is achieved as a result between the guiding function and the sealing function.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to a ball and socket joint (1), for example, for a chassis bearing, with a ball (2), a pivot (3) originating from the ball (2), a housing (4) accommodating the ball, and a sealing bellows (5), which extends between the housing (4) and the pivot (3) and has a housing-side opening (6) and a pivot-side opening (7), wherein the sealing bellows (5) has a circumferential sealing lip (8) for sealing at the pivot-side opening (7). The ball and socket joint (1) according to the present invention is characterized in that a first guide ring (9), which guides the sealing bellows (5), is arranged at the pivot (3). An especially favorable functional separation is achieved as a result between the guiding function and the sealing function.
