Abstract
The joint assembly 1 for a car steering system has a first ball joint 11, a tubular collar 25, an elastic member 26 and a second ball joint 21. The first ball joint 11 has a stem 13 provided with a recess 13a. The tubular collar 25 has a protrusion 25a at an inside thereof and provided around the stem 13 in such a manner that the protrusion 25a confronts the recess 13a. The elastic member 26 is provided between the recess 13a of the stem 13 and the protrusion 25a of the collar 25. The second ball joint 21 has a hole 19 for accommodating the collar 25 covering the stem 13. According to the joint assembly 1, vibration generated at the wheel 71 is absorbed by the elastic member 26 and seldom gives the driver uncomfortableness or causes the driver to err in driving the car.
