A piston for a piston-cylinder unit comprises a piston body having passages which connect two spaces in a cylinder on opposing sides of the piston. The passages are covered by at least one valve disk which is centered relative to a center of the piston by a centering sleeve. A spring element is arranged between the piston body and the centering sleeve. This spring element, when mounted, spaces the centering element from the piston body and accordingly displaces the useful range of the centering element until the piston is assembled in its entirety and every structural component part of the piston occupies its intended position.
