A method for attaching the elastic spring elements of a vibration absorber to a metallic mounting support, in particular of a vibration absorber that is to be placed in a steering wheel of a motor vehicle to a metal mounting plate or the bottom of the steering wheel, the spring elements having the form of cylindrical pegs which are each provided with a bead featuring an annular groove and which snap into correspondingly designed openings in the metal mounting plate, whereby the vibration absorber ( ) and the metal mounting plate ( ) are inserted into a device such that they lie one above the other and that the pegs ( ) of the vibration absorber ( ) are aligned with the openings ( ) in the metal mounting plate ( ). The extensions ( ) provided on the pegs ( ) are passed through the openings ( ) until the metal mounting plate ( ) butts against the bead ( ). The extensions ( ) then are grasped by grippers ( ) and the pegs ( ) are pulled further through the openings ( ) until the edges of the openings ( ) snap into the annular grooves ( ), and the extensions ( ) are cut off by cutting knives ( ).
