Abstract
The disclosure relates to a bearing arrangement for a motor vehicle, having a first component with a bearing eye, which a bearing bushing is arranged, a second component with a first and second attaching portion, which are arranged on both sides of the first component in a region of the bearing eye, and a tensioning device, which is guided axially through an inner sleeve of the bearing bushing via a shaft portion to optimize connection of two components via a bearing bushing. The tensioning device tensions the inner sleeve axially against the second attaching portion, avoiding the first attaching portion, and is received with radial form fit in a first recess of the first attaching portion by a head portion.

A bearing arrangement for a motor vehicle comprising:
- a first component with a bearing eye, in which a bearing bushing is arranged;
- a second component with a first and second attaching portion, arranged on both sides of the first component in a region of the bearing eye;
- and
- a tensioning device guided axially through an inner sleeve of the bearing bushing via a shaft portion, wherein the tensioning device tensions the inner sleeve axially against the second attaching portion, avoiding the first attaching portion, and is received with a radial, form fit in a first recess of the first attaching portion with a head portion.
A vehicle comprising:
- a control arm with a bushing arranged within a bearing eye;
- a wheel carrier with first and second clevis arms on the control arm;
- and
- a screw guided through the bushing via a shaft such that a sleeve is axially tensioned against the second clevis arm, the screw avoiding the first clevis arm and including a head received with a radial, form fit in a first recess of the first clevis arm.
A vehicle suspension comprising:
- a control arm with a bushing arranged within a bearing eye;
- a wheel carrier with first and second clevis arms arranged on the control arm;
- and
