The joint assembly (10) for the reciprocally articulated bearing of three components has a housing section (11) connected to a first component, a center section (12) connected to a second component and forming with the housing section an outer joint, and an inner section (13) forming with the center section an inner joint. The rotational centers and/or rotational axes of the inner and outer joints lie close to one another, or may coincide or intersect one another. The outer joint may be formed as a ball joint and the inner as a rotational joint, or vice versa. An independent claim is included for a radial bearing for a motor vehicle incorporating the aforesaid joint assembly.
