A bearing block to support and guide movement of a slat support arm forming part of a slat support assembly in which the slat support arm is movable to deploy a slat attached to one end of said slat support arm from a leading edge of an aircraft wing is disclosed. The bearing block comprises a plurality of bearings mountable therein so as to lie in rolling contact with an associated bearing track on a slat support arm extending through the bearing block. Each bearing comprises a bearing element rotatable about a shaft fixed to the bearing block an and is configured so that an axis of rotation of each bearing element angularly adjusts, relative to an axis of the shaft on which it is rotatably mounted, to compensate for misalignment between said shaft and an associated bearing track. A slat support assembly and an aircraft wing is also disclosed.
