Abstract
A pivoting bearing for chassis components of motor vehicles has a tubular joint housing (), which forms a cylindrical interior space and in which a metallic internal part () and an elastomer body () are accommodated. The elastomer body () is axially pretensioned in the axial longitudinal direction via the intermediary of stop rings (), which are connected with the elastomer body and cooperate with corresponding projections (), which project into the interior space of the joint housing (). At least one of the projections is formed by a spring lock washer (), which is inserted into a radial depression () of the interior space of the joint housing () and is in contact with a recess (). The recess extends circumferentially radially at the outer edge of the stop ring () and is engaged by the spring lock washer () in the mounted state of the pivoting bearing.
