Abstract: An adjustable fastening of a ball joint to a track rod (1) for steering rods of motor vehicles, in which the ball joint has a ball stud (12) supported movable in all directions around a central axis (17) in a joint housing (16), and the central axis (17) can be pushed along by adjusting the ball joint (2) in relation to the track rod (1), is said, in particular, to be possible to use even with U-shaped profiled track rods. For this purpose, the ball joint (2) has a fastening plate (16) which has a bearing bore (18) arranged eccentric to the axis (17) of movement of the ball stud (12). The fastening plate (16) is supported swingable by its bearing bore (18) on a fastening element (22), and the track rod (1) has fixing elements (23) gripping against the fastening plate (16) for fixing the ball joint (2) in a definite swinging position.
