March 28, 2012
The knuckle has two knuckle segments (1, 2) connected together by a joint body (10) that comprises a trained saddle provided with a concave surface to receive one of the knuckle segments. The other knuckle segment is arranged on a calotte of the joint body. The calotte includes a convex surface corresponding to the concave surface of the saddle. The calotte and the saddle are connected through pins, where a bearing body with elastomer layers is arranged between the saddle and the calotte.
