The module (1) has a ball stud (3) extending in a direction of a pin longitudinal axis (6). Stress of a torsion spring (19) i.e. helical spring, is varied by rotating the ball stud around the pin longitudinal axis relative to a housing (5). The torsion spring is switched between the ball stud and the housing. The spring runs between guide elements (14, 15) e.g. balls, is separately mounted at the housing. The spring extends from the ball stud to the guide elements in the direction of the pin longitudinal axis. The spring is mounted at the housing in axial spacing to the guide elements.
