A method of manufacturing a tripot housing, comprising:

• providing a housing body extending between a first end and a second end along an axis, the second end being open and the first end having an end wall with a drive shaft extending from the end wall along the axis away from the second end, the housing body having an outer surface and an inner surface, the inner surface having a guide channel that extends between the first end and the second end, the outer surface having a first region extending axially along a direction from the first end toward the second end to a shoulder that extends radially outwardly to a second region, the second region extending axially from the shoulder toward the second end;
• providing a ring having an inner surface and an outer surface;
• and
• pressing the inner surface into an interference fit with the first region with the outer surface extending radially outwardly from the second region.
