A suspension strut bearing (1) having two assemblies (11, 12), which are counter-rotatable about a longitudinal axis (z) and centered with respect to each other, including two bearing rings (2, 3), which are each allocated to one assembly (11, 12) and counter-rotatable when mounted, and a sealing device (8). In order to decouple the sealing device (8) 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 (5) is provided on one of the bearing rings (2), which element centers the assemblies (11, 12) one over the other by a first component having a greater stiffness than a second component and forms the sealing device (8) with the second component.
A suspension strut bearing comprising two assemblies which are counter-rotatable about a longitudinal axis (z) and centered with respect to each other, said assemblies comprising two bearing rings each of which is allocated to one of said assemblies which are counter-rotatable when mounted, a sealing device, and a single-piece, two-component element provided on one of the bearing rings, said two-component element centers the two assemblies with respect to each other through a first of the components possessing a higher rigidity than a second of the components, and the sealing device is formed by the second component.
