Thrust friction bearings with bent holding lugs wherein the holding lugs depressions are formed in the slide layer before the bending of the lugs. In one example, one shallow groove is stamped into an integral bracket forming a holding lug. In another example, several depressions are formed in rows, instead of grooves. The grooves or rows of depressions extend in a direction across the lug, preferably lying at an angle to the axis of curvature. Thus, when the holding lugs are formed by bending, damage to the slide bearing material will not occur.
