The Dutch term is more precise than the answer proffered by Fred ten Berge, but “axle bearing” is more commonly used in the provided context than my suggestions. It would therefore, in my opinion, be fair to award the KudoZ to Fred and enter both “axle bearing” and ”axis bushing; axle bushing” in the glossary.
