Abstract: A assembly support (33) of a front end of a motor vehicle is proposed, having at least one cooling module (1) which is detachably fixed to the assembly support (33) by means of at least two connecting points (9, 15; 11, 13). The assembly support (33) is characterized in that one of the connecting points (9; 11) is embodied as a pivot bearing (17; 19), and in that the other of the connecting points (13; 15) is embodied as a clip connection (21; 23). In addition, a method for detachably fixing a cooling module (1) to a assembly support (33) of a front end of a motor vehicle is proposed.

Abstract: A flange connection between the longitudinal beam of a vehicle as a first component (1) and a carrier element, which can be mounted to it, as a second component (2), exhibits a flange plate (3) at the one component and a counter flange plate (4) at the other component. For the purpose of holding together tight the flange plate (3) and the counter flange plate (4) by utilizing a wedge effect, a connection bolt (7) protrudes at the flange plate (3), whereby said connection bolt (7) exhibits a wedge slope (9), which stretches in the cross direction. The counter flange plate (4) exhibits a feed-through opening (12) for this connection bolt (7), and a locking component (15) can be placed at its inner side. In the connected position, this locking component (15) surrounds the locking bolt (7) and establishes a wedge surface (18) that interacts with its wedge slope (9).
