Abstract

A spring strut bearing with a cap and with a guide ring which is mounted in a rotatable manner relative to the cap about a rotational axis (D), an axial bearing being arranged between the cap and the guide ring. The cap has a seal, and the cap is connected to the guide ring at an inner diameter of the cap by a snap-in connection. The cap has a first element of the snap-in connection, and the guide ring has a second element of the snap-in connection, said elements engaging into each other in a formfitting manner. The first element is designed as a two-component part, the soft component of which engages into the second element in a formfitting manner and the hard component of which forms a reinforcement of the soft component.
