A spring control arm for a wheel suspension of a motor vehicle is formed as a single-shell, essentially U-shaped sheet metal part and includes a back, spaced-apart side walls adjoining the back and each having an upper side wall region connected to the back, a lower side wall region distal from the back, and a central side wall region arranged between the upper and lower side wall regions. The spring control arm has first and a second end sections for attachment and a wider spring plate region disposed therebetween. The spring control arm has a substantially omega-shaped cross section in the spring plate region, which is more pronounced in a central longitudinal section due to outwardly projecting upper side wall sections than in an end longitudinal section of the spring plate region.

A transverse leaf spring assembly for a motor vehicle includes a transverse leaf spring which is arranged transversely to the motor vehicle. A bearing unit connects the transverse leaf spring to a body of the motor vehicle and has a holder and elastic dampers. Accommodated in the holder is an adapter which has an interior space suited to a cross sectional geometry of the transverse leaf spring, with the transverse leaf spring being received in the adapter between the elastic dampers.
