In a spring support for a suspension strut of a motor vehicle, a spring collar is provided for supporting a coil spring. The spring support is connected in use with an outer tube of the spring strut. The spring collar comprises a pot-shaped receptacle for the outer tube of the spring strut. The collar is located eccentrically with respect to the outer tube and receptacle and has an annular spring coil support section located at an edge of the collar. This spring support section is connected with the pot-shaped receptacle by ribs that extend like the arms of a star toward the receptacle and have spaces between them. The spring support, including pot-shaped receptacle, ribs and annular spring coil support section, are formed as an integral cast part.

Spring support arrangement

An arrangement is provided for blocking a spring in a spring strut of a motor vehicle. A spacer element for transporting a vehicle consists of at least one segment which can be snapped into the spring and is supported by a lower free end on a stationary spring plate of the spring strut.
