The combined thrust and radial bearing is combined with a structure which defines two axially extending support surfaces. The bearing comprises two coaxial radially extending bearing plates and a set of rolling elements engaged between the plates. A first of the plates has a first flange extending axially from the inner peripheral edge of the first plate. A second of the plates has a second flange extending axially from the inner peripheral edge of the second plate. The flanges are concentric with each other and a radial bearing is interposed therebetween. The first plate has a third flange extending axially from the outer peripheral edge of the first plate and engaging one of the support surfaces to radially locate the first plate. The second plate is radially located relative to the structure by either the engagement of its second flange or the engagement of a fourth flange with the other of the support surfaces, the fourth flange extending axially from the outer peripheral edge of the second plate.
