A transverse link () has a main body (), which has at least one first fixing region () for pivotal attachment to a vehicle frame element. The first fixing region () has a journal () surrounded by a bearing bush (). A stop region () is arranged proximate the first fixing region (). The stop region is interrupted when viewed in the circumferential direction, resulting in the formation of diametrically opposite thickened portions (), which are arranged between the main body () and the journal () and are embodied in such a way that only forces acting in the lateral and vertical vehicle directions are absorbed when the main body () is twisted out of the neutral position thereof, about a vertical axis (Y) of a second fixing region ().
