Abstract

A bearing assembly for supporting a unit of a motor vehicle includes at least two first bearings, each of which has a line and an attachment element. Each of the lines is attached to a line attachment point on the unit. The lines are fixed to a structural component of the motor vehicle by means of the attachment elements, and each of the first bearings has a respective bearing rigidity such that forces produced by the rotation of the unit and introduced into the structural component of the vehicle via the first bearings cancel each other out.
