A crash damper for vehicles comprises two securing elements, by way of which it can be secured to the bumper on the one hand and to the body of the vehicle on the other hand. In order to be able to compensate manufacturing tolerances of the body of the vehicle, an adjustment device is provided for adjusting the distance between the securing elements.

A gas spring has a housing closed at one end and a piston rod brought out of the other end of the housing. The housing is detachably mounted in a surrounding tube and is able to be pushed into the latter as far as an end position. Securing elements are mounted respectively at the outer end of the piston rod and on the surrounding tube. So as to ensure that a part supported by the gas spring is reliably held also when the housing is partly pulled out of the surrounding tube a locking element for the detachable locking of the housing with the surrounding tube is provided in an intermediate position in which the housing respective to the end position is partly pulled out of the surrounding tube.
