The invention relates to a device (10) for transmitting torques while damping vibrations, particularly in a steering spindle arrangement, said device comprising a spindle connection part (12) for coupling to an end segment of a steering spindle, a damping bushing arrangement (16) that can be coupled to the spindle connection part (12), and a fork part (18) that can be coupled to the bushing arrangement (16) for transmitting torque. In this device, provision is made for the bushing arrangement (16) to be disposed between the spindle connection part (12) and the fork part (18), the bushing arrangement (16) having a first damping layer (60) made of elastomeric material for damping bending loads, and said bushing arrangement (16) having a second damping layer (62) made of elastomeric material for damping torsional loads.
