Abstract
A connecting element for separably connecting a first component to a second component in a vibration damping fashion and, optionally, for compensating tolerances between the first and the second component in a compensation direction, wherein the connecting element comprises a damping ring with an inner sleeve that can be fixed in the first component, as well as a spring element with an oblong hole arranged therein, and wherein a retaining bolt can be snapped between two spring surfaces of the spring element essentially parallel to a snap-in direction. The inner sleeve comprises an insert which comprises either a cylindrical bore or an oblong hole. Alternatively, the connecting element can be respectively realized for producing connections between the components with or without tolerance compensation by selecting the appropriate insert that comprises either a cylindrical bore or an oblong hole.
