Abstract: In a ball joint with a housing, a ball stud which includes a ball head mounted in the housing, and with a sealing bellows which includes a ring-shaped housing-side connecting region, it is provided that at the housing a ring-shaped channel is provided, in which the housing-side connecting region is accommodated, wherein the outer radius of the channel at the channel bottom is greater than the outer radius at the free edge of the channel, and on the housing-side connecting region of the sealing bellows at least one holding element made of a rigid material is provided, which in particular in a top view in longitudinal direction of the ball stud is at least partly covered by the free edge of the channel.

Abstract: This invention relates to a joint housing (10) of a ball joint (12), comprising a sheet-metal part (14) for accommodating a ball head (16), which is substantially rotationally symmetrical with respect to a joint axis (A) and includes a circumferential wall portion (18), wherein the circumferential wall portion (18) includes a housing opening (26) at an axial end (24), through which a joint pin (28) can extend, wherein the sheet-metal part (14) is formed with two layers at this axial end (24) of the circumferential wall portion (18). Furthermore, the invention also relates to a method for mounting such joint housing (10) on a carrier element (34).

Abstract: A ball joint which comprises a joint housing, a bearing shell received in the joint housing, and a ball stud having a ball head arranged for pivoting movement in the bearing shell. The ball head is prestressed by a spring system substantially in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the ball stud against the joint housing. The spring system is composed of spring elements connected in parallel and/or in series, at least one spring element of the spring system being made of a polymer material or of an elastomer material.
