Abstract

A device and method for the equiaxial connection of multiple-part linkages includes a bush whose inside contour has a serration and whose outside contour is constructed as a dihedral profile. A flange of a coupling is slipped over the bush which has been fitted onto an end of a rod, this rod end being provided with a surface toothing. The inside contour of the flange has a dihedral profile corresponding to the bush. The device allows automated connection of steering linkages in vehicle assembly.
