A rubber-metal sleeve bearing includes an inner sleeve, an outer sleeve disposed in concentric relationship to the inner sleeve, and an intermediate sleeve disposed in concentric relationship to the inner and outer sleeves and having first and second elastomer layers to connect the intermediate sleeve to the inner and outer sleeves, respectively. The intermediate sleeve has inner and outer surfaces, each having at least one non-round section, with the non-round section of the inner surface and the non-round section of the outer surface being arranged in offset relationship in a circumferential direction.

The invention relates to a subframe for the vehicle chassis of motor vehicles, which subframe has at least one cavity usable as a pressure accumulator and has a cross member () which is connected, at the two end faces () thereof, to a node element (). Bearing elements (to) and/or further frame elements are attached to the node elements (). The cross member () is formed as a continuous rib-reinforced component or extruded part () and forms for the pressure accumulator a pressure-resistant cavity which is closed off by the node elements () at the end faces.
