| Zusammenfassung: | The invention relates to a ball joint, especially a wheel guidance joint for motor vehicles. Said ball joint comprises a housing (
1
) with a cavity (
2
) that is open to at least one side. A bearing shell (
3
) that accommodates a ball (
4
) is inserted in said cavity. The bearing shell (
3
) can be displaced, together with the ball (
4
) that it receives, in the cavity (
2
) along an axis (
6
). A first shoulder (
7
) and a second shoulder (
8
) define end stops in the cavity (
2
) of the housing (
1
), a limited free trajectory (
5
) of the displaceable bearing shell (
3
) being defined between said two stops. The inventive joint is further characterized in that the bearing shell (
3
) is mounted in the cavity (
2
) under the effect of a gentle radial pretension. At least one compensating element (
15
) is arranged between the outer surface of the bearing shell (
3
) and the inner surface of the cavity (
2
). |
