An outer part for homokinetic joints and rolling bearings, the outer part having, at least at one of its end faces, an annular sealing face. Axially running bores for receiving fastening means are formed in the end faces of the outer part, the sealing face extending in the region of the bores radially between the bores and the inner diameter of the outer part. A contour protruding from the sealing face is arranged on the end-face sealing face(s) of the outer part, against which contour the seal presses when fitted. Said contour, which protrudes nose-like in longitudinal cross-section, provides even at the pre-assembled stage a small seating surface for the seal, such that the contour is fixed in position, without the use of an adhesive, even under small pressing forces, such as those usually applied during the preassembly of the module to which the outer part belongs.
