Abstract
A fastening element with a nut and a thrust washer is provided. The nut includes an interior portion with an internal thread and an abutment surface at one end. A snap edge radially encloses the abutment surface and has a nose edge projecting radially inward, with a chamber being formed between the abutment surface, the snap edge and the nose edge. The thrust washer has an interior recess, a flanged portion and a cylindrical portion, with an outside diameter of the flanged portion being greater than an outside diameter of the cylindrical portion. The flanged portion, the cylindrical portion, the snap edge and the nose edge are coordinated with one another, with the nose edge projecting into the interior of the nut such that the nose edge and the snap edge at least partially enclose the flanged portion of the thrust washer.
