having a shank which is rotatable about its longitudinal axis defining a joint axis,
wherein on at least one end of the shank a roller carrier projects radially and basically perpendicular to the joint axis,
wherein on the at least one roller carrier a roller is provided rotatable around a roller axis, and
wherein the roller is secured in axial direction of the roller axis against slipping-off of the roller carrier by means of an embossed area located axially outside of the roller on the distal end portion of the roller carrier,
wherein the roller carriers are integrally formed with the shank,
wherein bores in the roller carriers extend transversely from the longitudinal bore in the shank, and
wherein radial bores extend from the transversely extending bores in the roller carriers such that lubrication fluid from the longitudinal bore in the shank is capable to be guided to the rollers.
