A rubber mount, preferably a stabilizer mount, and a process are provided for mounting the mount, which is used to mount sectional bars used preferably as stabilizers. The mount is of a simplified mounting type. For this purpose, the elastomeric mount body (2) for receiving the sectional bar as well as a clamp (3) for jointly fastening the mount (1) and the sectional bar to other components forms a structural unit according to the present invention already before the mounting on the sectional bar. Both the mount body ( 2) and the clamp (3) receiving it have an axially extending opening gap (5). The mounting of the mount (1) on the sectional bar is carried out using the opening gap (5) by pressing the sectional bar through this opening gap into the mount (1), i.e. , the mount (1) is clamped on the sectional bar. The structural unit clamped on the sectional bar can be fixed on the sectional bar by closing means (6, 6') arranged at the axial ends of the clamp ( 3) after closing the opening gap (5) while the elastomer is pretensioned.
