The invention relates to a disc brake comprising a brake caliper () which covers a brake disc and brake pads () arranged on both sides of the brake disc in a pad shaft (), each brake pad being assembled from a friction lining () and a rear plate (), the front face of which is designed as a securing surface () for the friction lining () and the rear face of which is designed as a pressure surface for transmitting the braking pressure. A hold-down device () which runs transversely over the brake pads () is supported against the brake pads () in the direction of the disc brake axis (A). The hold-down device () is made from an elongated base (C) in the form of a channel over the majority of the total length of the hold-down device, wherein a spring () rests against said base, and from lateral flanks (A,B) arranged on the sides of the base (C). The aim of the invention is to solve the problem of the structural narrowness between the components of the disc brake and the vehicle wheel rotating about the brake. This is achieved in that the hold-down device () has an S-shaped offset () which adjoins the base (C) and an end portion () which adjoins the offset () towards the hold-down device end. The end portion () is equipped with a single- or double-part support surface (A), by means of which the hold-down device () is supported against one of the brake pads () on the rear face of the brake pad rear plate ().

The invention relates to a brake pad mounting of a vehicle disc brake with brake pads () arranged in a pad seat () on both sides of a radially extending brake disc, with a rigid downholder () running transversely over the brake pads (), and with a leaf spring () extending along the downholder (). Same is supported with its two spring ends against a respective counter bearing on the one side, and on a spring segment arranged between the spring ends against the side of the downholder () facing away from the brake pads () on the other side. In order to provide a solution to the problem of strong movements of the brake pads in certain driving states, e.g. in the event of strong vibrations of the disc brake, one of the two counter bearings (A) is situated on a blocking bearing or counter bearing element () which can be rotatably moved about an axis (A) which extends in the circumferential direction of the brake pad (). At least one stop () is configured on the blocking or counter bearing element (), which is situated opposite a counter stop () configured on the brake pad ().

An axle suspension for a vehicle axle guided by a trailing arm and also, furthermore, an axle lift for a vehicle axle are proposed. The axle lift includes a force element (), a pressure transmission means () which is movable towards an axle link () of the vehicle axle by actuation of the force element, and a bracket (). The bracket () is provided with a supporting means () for the force element () and the pressure reaction forces acting on the latter and, in addition, for the fastening to a support () is provided with a bracket part (), on which a plug-in or hook connection (A) for engagement in the support () is formed. With the aim of being able to fit the bracket () in a fixed basic setting on the support () with just a few actions, it is proposed that the bracket part (), at a distance from the plug-in or hook connection (A) thereof, is provided with at least one further connecting means (), which is designed for engagement in the support ().
