Joint housing of a ball joint as well as method for mounting the joint housing on a carrier element

An assembly with a joint housing and a carrier element,

• the joint housing comprising a sheet-metal part for accommodating a ball head, wherein said sheet-metal part is substantially rotationally symmetrical with respect to a joint axis of the sheet-metal part and includes a circumferential wall portion surrounding the joint axis with a first axial end at a first position along the joint axis and a second axial end at a second position along the joint axis,
• wherein the circumferential wall portion includes a housing opening at the second axial end, through which a joint pin can extend, the sheet-metal part being formed with two layers stacked in a radial direction from the joint axis at this second axial end of the circumferential wall portion,
• the carrier element including an assembly opening which is surrounded by a holding portion,
• the circumferential wall portion of the joint housing extending through the assembly opening,
• the holding portion surrounding the circumferential wall portion of the joint housing with such a pretension that the joint housing is frictionally held in the holding portion;
• and
• wherein the sheet-metal part being formed with two layers stacked in the radial direction includes a first layer extending in an axial direction and a second layer extending in an axial direction alongside said first layer, said first layer being radially closer to said joint axis than said second layer.
