Ball joint for a two-point link and two-point-link with such ball joint

A two-point linkage in combination with a ball joint, the two-point linkage being either a steering rod or a track rod and the ball joint comprising:

• a housing which defines an axial direction,
• a ball stud being fitted and deflectable in the housing,
• a sealing element being arranged such that a first axial end of the sealing element abuts the housing, the sealing element surrounds the ball stud all round, the sealing element having a cylindrical, radially inner surface that extends from the first axial end to a second axial end of the sealing element opposite the first axial end, and the radially inner surface of the sealing element adjacent the second axial end thereof abuts the ball stud,
• deflection movement of the ball stud, relative to the housing, is at least partially restricted by the sealing element,
• the sealing element being attached to the housing by an axially interlocked connection, and
• the second axial end of the sealing element having an end surface that comprises a plurality of concentric annular grooves and at least one radial lubricant groove that extends in a straight line from a middle of the sealing element through a radially outer surface of the sealing element.

A ball joint for a chassis component in a form of a two-point linkage, the ball joint comprising:

• a housing and a ball stud which is supported within the housing such that the ball stud is deflectable relative to the housing, and, in an undeflected position of the ball stud, the housing and the ball stud are coaxially aligned;
• and
• a sealing element being arranged between the housing and the ball stud, and the sealing element radially surrounds the ball stud and restricting deflection movement of the ball stud relative to the housing, and the sealing element having axially opposite first and second ends, and radially inner and outer surfaces, and
• the first end of the sealing element being attached to the housing by an axially interlocked connection, and the second end of the sealing element having an end surface that has a plurality of concentric annular grooves and at least one radial groove that extends straight through the sealing element from the inner surface through the outer surface thereof.
