Hi there,
"En outre, lesdites pattes de liaison sont engages dans des orifices formant paliers, ménages au travers des éléments de came."

My translation :
Furthermore, said connecting lugs are meshed in palier forming orifices, preserved through cam elements.

I usually translate palier= bearing, would bearing-forming orifices be ok?

The context is an adjustable steering column
Thank you

orifices forming bearing surfaces

an orifice cannot be a bearing on its own, but can be a "bearing surface", in as much as it bears the weight or load applied through the lugs
