Abstract

A suspension strut bearing () having two assemblies (), which are counter-rotatable about a longitudinal axis (z) and centered with respect to each other, including two bearing rings (), which are each allocated to one assembly () and counter-rotatable when mounted, and a sealing device (). In order to decouple the sealing device () and the centering from each other with respect to the function thereof and still provide said parts cost-effectively, a single-piece, two-component element () is provided on one of the bearing rings (), which element centers the assemblies () one over the other by a first component having a greater stiffness than a second component and forms the sealing device () with the second component.
