A collar bearing comprising a bearing shell and at least one thrust
washer, whereby the at least one thrust washer is fixed on an outer
convex circumferential surface of the bearing shell to define a joint
site that extends between the convex outer circumferential surface of the
bearing shell and a concave inner circumferential surface of the thrust
washer, the at least one thrust washer being welded along a weld seam to
the bearing shell such that the weld seam extends axially between an
outer thrust facing and an opposite inner surface of the at least one
thrust washer, and the weld seam extends over only a part of the joint
site.
