The invention relates to an assembly (10) for connecting a tubular first component (12) to a second component (14), in particular for connecting a traction bar to an A-column of a vehicle body. Said assembly comprises a first structural element (22), which forms a housing for a screw element (24), said first structural element being located on the end (20) of the first component (12) that faces the second component (14) and a second structural element (26), which is fixed to the end (20) of the first component (12) that faces the second component (14), in such a way that the first structural element (22) is held between the first component (12) and the second structural element (26) and that the screw element (24) is retained permanently in the first structural element (22) by the second structural element (26). The screw element (24) can be displaced in the first structural element (22) at least in a transversal direction in relation to a longitudinal axis (28) of the first component (12) to compensate for tolerances during the connection of the first component (12) to the second component (14). The invention also relates to a method for producing an assembly (10) of this type.
