Abstract

An axially loadable support bearing for the elastic connection of vehicle parts has a rubber bush equipped with a metal bearing core and a sheet-metal casing provided with a flange. In the installation position of the support bearing, the flange is supported on one edge of a receiving lug receiving the bearing. The bead-like bush endpiece facing away from the flange engages behind the other edge of the receiving lug and has supporting elements which engage in a snap-like manner behind the edge of the receiving lug. An abutment is assigned in the bush endpiece at an axial distance from the edge of the receiving lug. A reliable bearing support in the receiving lug in each axial direction is achieved respectively by the flange and supporting elements.
