Abstract

A front axle of a motor vehicle with steerable, driven or non-driven wheels on steering knuckles pivotably hinged at a wheel-guiding element with an upper and a lower bearing position, each of which accommodates a radial bearing for mounting a steering knuckle bolt with a pot-shaped sleeve with a sealed lubricant reservoir and forms a bearing bushing. A stop disk is arranged a bottom of the sleeve to absorb axial forces and roll bodies of the radial bearing are supported with the supporting surfaces at the stop disk.
