A tolerance compensation element that compensates for tolerances in the distance between first and second components, includes a thread bolt having a first drive feature, a first thread of a first thread direction and a second thread of a second thread direction. Between the first and the second thread, a protrusion extends from the thread bolt radially to the outside. The element includes a first plastic overmold in the portion of the first thread, which provides a fastening structure for the fastening to the first component, and a second plastic overmold around the protrusion which extends radially to the outside, to provide an abutment portion abutting the second component when in use. A distance of the second plastic overmold to the first plastic overmold is changeable after overcoming a start-up torque between the first plastic overmold and the first thread in longitudinal direction of the thread bolt.
