Abstract

See full text

A floating joint has a first connection section and a second connection section, which are capable of pivoting relative to each other. In the manufacturing of this joint, a receiving step is performed, in which the flange section of the first connection section, the umbrella section of the second connection section, a ring, and a plate are received within a case. Further, the following steps are performed: a staking step in which an end of the case is staked inward to cover the plate; and a gap adjustment step in which the plate is pressed toward the ring to adjust the gap between the ring and the plate.
