Abstract
The invention relates to a slide bearing comprising with a bearing opening ( ) pertaining to a hinge-housing component ( ) and a flange bearing box ( ) pressed into said bearing opening ( ), whereby a bearing pin ( ) can be inserted and rotated therein. Said flange bearing box ( ) has a crimped projection ( ) which projects radially inwards in the direction of the periphery. In order to create a slide bearing which can be preassembled, said slide-bearing is formed such that said crimped projection ( ), when viewed from a longitudinal section of the box forms as a curved region ( ) in the wall of said flange bearing box ( ) in the vicinity of the axial end of the bearing opening ( ) and said curved region ( ) projects into the flange ( ) of the box ( ) in such a way that a space (h) is created between the opening ( ) and of the bearing outer side which faces the flange bearing box ( ) in the region of the curved profile prior to insertion of the bearing pins ( ). The curved region ( ) of the flange bearing box ( ) can be radially deformed radially in an outward direction.
