Device for compensating for tolerances

A device for compensating for tolerances between two components to be connected to one another, comprising:

• a base element,
• a compensating element which is in threaded engagement with the base element and which can be moved from a starting position by rotation relative to the base element,
• a radially yielding driving element acting in a predetermined direction, and
• a holding device for connecting to one of the components, wherein the holding device is designed as an integrated part of the base element or the compensating element, or as a separate part and can be detachably arranged on one of the components in a form-fitting and/or force-fitting manner, and
• wherein the base element and the compensating element are nested in such a way that at least two coupling interfaces are formed between the base element and the compensating element
• wherein said driving element is symmetrical about a vertical axis.
