Abstract
A constant velocity universal ball joint has the ball tracks in the outer joint part (11, 31, 51, 71) and in the inner joint part (13, 33, 53, 73) designed in such a way that, with coaxial axes (A.sub.11, . . . ; A.sub.13, . . . ) and corresponding central planes (E.sub.11, . . . ; E.sub.13, . . . ) of the outer and inner joint parts (11, 31, . . . ; 13, 33, . . . ) on both sides of the respective central planes (E.sub.11, . . ; E.sub.13, . . . ), in a radial projection on to the axes (A.sub.11, . . . ; A.sub.13 . . . ), they form with their center lines (M.sub.11, . . . ; M.sub.13 . . . ) an angle relative to one another which deviates from zero and which decreases towards their axial ends.
