A connection of a suspension strut to a body of a motor vehicle is provided. Motor vehicles, and in particular passenger motor vehicles, have a suspension strut for each wheel. The lower end region of the suspension strut is joined to the wheel suspension, while the upper end region of the suspension strut is connected to the body of the motor vehicle. For this purpose, the upper end region of the suspension strut has a holder by which the suspension strut is connected to the body. The holder is detachably connected to a body element of the body that extends substantially in parallel with the longitudinal extent of the suspension strut in the flat connecting region.

A tray element is provided for a motor vehicle. The tray element can be arranged in a stowage region of the motor vehicle and has at least one receiving tray open at the top in the vertical direction of the motor vehicle for at least partially receiving at least one battery () of the motor vehicle. The tray element is designed as a die-cast component made of a light metal.

A screwed assembly consists of at least one pre-punched, upper and an unpunched, lower component, an intermediate layer arranged in between, and a plurality of self-drilling fastening screws which are introduced via a pre-punch hole in the upper component and screwed to the unpunched component with the interposition of the intermediate layer. In order to effectively prevent in a simple manner any still uncured intermediate layer material from flowing out of the upper component surface when the fastening screws are screwed in, the pre-punches in the upper component are designed as blind holes which are closed by a thin-walled web.
