Claim Text:
1. A bearing in combination with at least one elastomeric bushing ( 16 ) which can be pretensioned and calibrated in an installed state, the bushing comprising a deformable outer sleeve ( 5 ) and a compact inner part ( 4 ) which has a flange, the outer sleeve and the inner part being connected to one another by a first elastomer layer ( 1 ), a second elastomer layer ( 2 , 25 ) being connected to the first elastomer layer ( 1 ) and being compressed between the flange of the inner part and at least one of a mechanical compression means ( 3 , 4 a , 5 a , 8 , 19 , 21 , 24 ; 12 , 13 , 7 ; 20 , 21 , 22 ), and a hydraulic compression means ( 12 , 13 , 14 , 17 ) such that elastomeric material from the second elastomer layer ( 2 ) is pressed into the first elastomer layer ( 1 ) and compresses the first elastomer layer ( 1 ) such that the outer sleeve ( 5 ) of the bushing is deformed radially outward to facilitate tensioning of the bushing ( 16 ) with a surrounding component ( 10 ) connected to the bushing.
