A connection system for compensating for manufacturing- and/or assembly-induced tolerances between components (30, 70), comprising: - a set of connection means, comprising: - a nut including an internal thread, the nut being fixedly connectable to a second component; - a compensating element including an external thread, which matches the internal thread, and a projecting head, the compensating element being screwable into the nut to such an extent that a first tolerance compensation with respect to a first component can be created in a longitudinal direction of the compensating element; - a clamping element, comprising: a first clamping leg and a second clamping leg, which are connected to one another in a spring-loaded manner, the first clamping leg having a fork-like design including a first tine and a second tine, wherein - it being possible to place the first component against the head of the compensating element in a position in which a second tolerance compensation can be created in a transverse direction, the transverse direction being transverse to the longitudinal direction of the compensating element; - it being possible to push the first tine and the second tine in the transverse direction beneath the projecting head of the compensating element; and - it being possible to push the second clamping leg in the transverse direction over the first component so that the clamping element presses the first component against the head of the compensating element; - the first component; and - the second component, characterized in that the first and second components are connected to one another by way of the set of connection means in such a way that - the nut is fixedly connected to the second component; - the compensating element is screwed into the nut; - the first component rests against the head of the compensating element; - the first tine and the second tine of the clamping element latch over the projecting head of the compensating element; and - the second clamping leg rests against the first component so that the clamping element presses the first component against the head of the compensating element. - a set of connection means, comprising: - a nut including an internal thread, the nut being fixedly connectable to a second component;
