  "textContent": "The present invention describes a support strut assembly (100) for supporting a casing (120) of a functional unit of a gas turbine (200). The support strut assembly (100) comprises a strut body (101) for supporting the casing (120) to a ground (220), a ball pivot element (102) which is pivotably mounted to the strut body (101) for forming a ball joint and a rocker lever (103) which is mounted to the ball pivot element (102). The rocker lever (103) is insertable into a bearing bore (121) of a support body (120) being a part of the casing or the ground (220), wherein the rocker lever (103) is insertable into the bearing bore (121) (120) in a clearance fit manner such that a pivotal point (105) is generated at a first contact area between the rocker lever (103) and an inner surface (122) of the bearing bore (121), so that the rocker lever (103) is pivotable within the bearing bore (121) around the pivotal point (105). An elastomeric springing and damping element (104) is mounted to the rocker lever (103) such that the elastomeric springing and damping element (104) is interposable between the rocker lever (103) and the a support body (120) for providing a centering force and damping a pivoting of the rocker lever (103) with respect to the support body (120) around the pivotal point (105).",
