  • Patent number: 11110767
    Abstract: A support bearing of a vibration damper in the wheel suspension of a vehicle has a support bearing flange supported and force-fittingly attached on a body structure of the vehicle. The support bearing flange engages around an annular elastomer element in which the damper piston rod is suspended. With an annular collar which forms a hollow cylinder and the cylinder axis of which is at least approximately coincident with the longitudinal axis of the vibration damper, the support bearing flange penetrates a through-opening in the body structure so far that a nut or a support bearing cover designed as a union nut is screwed on a thread provided on the outer wall of the collar.
