Abstract

The invention relates to strut bearing with a cap and a guide ring which is mounted in a rotatable manner about a rotational axis (D) relative to the cap. An axial bearing is arranged between the cap and the guide ring, and the cap includes a soft component and a hard component. Furthermore, the soft component has at least two circumferential sealing lips which rest against the guide ring in a sliding manner in order to seal the axial bearing. According to the invention, the soft component is formed on a hard component end face oriented towards the guide ring, and a hard component end face oriented opposite the guide ring has a profile.
