Abstract:
1. A unit, comprising: a wheel bearing; and at least one vehicle-sided fixed support, the wheel bearing being seated fixedly by way of at least one outer part in at least one bearing seat which is formed as an axial passage of a sheet metal formed part of the support, and at least one end section of the outer part being folded over radially in a plastic manner at least near the passage, in such a way that the end section engages axially behind the support, wherein the passage has a linear inner contour forming a first side wall, a linear outer contour forming a second side wall, a first concavely curved contour extending from the inner contour, a second concavely curved contour extending from the outer contour, and a linear base interposed between the first concavely curved contour and the second concavely curved contour, and wherein centrally located at the base is a radial narrow point, and axially, from the radial narrow point toward the inner contour and the outer contour, a radial internal cross-section of the passage uniformly decreases at decreasing axial distance intervals from the narrow point toward the inner contour and the outer contour.
