A steering head bearing arrangement for mounting a wheel module for a motor vehicle is provided with a steering rod connectable to a steering actuator and a wishbone, and a bearing flange connectable with a support frame of the motor vehicle, first and second roller bearings arranged in the bearing flange for mounting the steering rod, and a retaining ring screwed onto the steering rod for biasing the second roller bearing against the first roller bearing. By biasing the substantially spaced apart roller bearings against each other by means of the screwed-on retaining ring, radial and axial play of the steering rod in the bearing flange can be largely eliminated, thereby allowing to avoid wear-intensive peak stresses and allowing robust mounting of a steering rod of a motor vehicle.
