Abstract

The invention relates to a radial ball joint (1) which consists of a substantially cylindrical inner sleeve (2) having a spherical bearing surface (3), a bearing shell (4) that at least partially surrounds the bearing surface (3) and that is received in a recess of a joint housing (12), and two flexible sealing sleeves which are interposed between the bearing shell (4) and the exterior of the inner sleeve (2) at opposite ends (6, 7) and seal the gap between the bearing shell (4) and the bearing surface (3) accommodated therein. The sealing sleeves are configured as a one-piece bellows-type seal (5) having a center element (9) and two sealing sleeve elements (8, 10) that are axially contiguous thereto on opposite sides, the center element (9) covering the bearing shell (4) on its radial periphery.
