Abstract
An outer joint part consists of a casing in which the axially extending guiding tracks are fitted in the form of inserts. The casing is provided with axially extending continuous recesses which are open towards the inserts. The unique process for manufacturing the outer joint part consists of positioning the inserts within the recesses and holding them in position by welding or by utilizing a pressing operation on the exterior of the casing while simultaneously positioning the inserts using a supporting core.
