A bushing assembly comprises a bushing element having a first surface, which is adapted to come into contact with a shoulder, and a threaded hole, which defines and axis and is adapted to be engaged by a screw; and a cage element, which is fitted around the bushing element so that the bushing element is supported and is floating; the cage element is adapted to be fixed to the shoulder and is provided with at least one opening; the opening defines an end abutment of the cage element; the bushing element comprises at least one stop portion, which engages the opening with an angular clearance and is movable around the axis at least between a first angular position, in which the stop portion is spaced apart from the abutment, and a second angular position, in which the stop portion is in contact with the abutment so as to prevent the bushing element from rotating past the second angular position; the stop portion is defined by an appendage element, which is distinct from the surface and the surface is circular.
