In a supporting mount for a shock damper with a spring-mounted damper cylinder of a motor vehicle, the stops for an elastic mounting of the piston rod of the shock damper and for the spring path of the damper cylinder are to be designed and installed in a manner which is functionally optimal and expedient in terms of assembly. For this purpose, individual stops are combined with one another by means of mutual snapping-in.

Supporting mount for a shock damper of a motor vehicle

A support bearing supporting a shock absorber piston rod at a vehicle frame part is disclosed which includes cup-shaped receptacles attached to both sides of the frame part. Elastic support elements are clamped into the receptacles between respective sides of the frame part and stops on a piston rod extending through the receptacles frame part and elastic support elements. To aid in centering the elastic support elements in the receptacles, ribs are provided on one of the elastic elements and the receptacles side walls, such that no other centering attachment of the elastic elements to the receptacles such as by vulcanization, is required.
