Abstract

A bearing arrangement for a damper bearing of a shock absorber in a wheelhouse of a vehicle. A damper receptacle is formed in a wheelhouse sheet metal part delimiting the wheelhouse. A threaded bolt is guided through a damper bearing screw hole and through a screw hole of the damper receptacle and the bolt tip of the threaded bolt is screwed together with an internal thread of a reinforcement element which is arranged on the side of the damper receptacle. A positioning aid is associated with the damper receptacle, via which positioning aid the damper bearing of the shock absorber can be pre-positioned in an assembly process up to an installation position in which the screw hole of the damper bearing, the screw hole of the damper receptacle, and the reinforcement element internal thread are oriented flush with respect to each other in a screw direction.
