Abstract
The invention concerns an interference fit comprising a carrier and at least one stepped bushing seated with an interference fit on the carrier. The stepped bushing is made by shaping a sheet metal and is characterized by a special wall thickness configuration. Through this wall thickness configuration, it becomes possible to assure that the stepped bushing conforms to close shape tolerances in the pressed-in state in regions of functional relevance.
