The support tube of non-buckling construction consists of an integrally extruded tubular piece for the absorption of force. It has no doublings, is of round, oval or rounded-off construction and has at least one internal longitudinal web. The longitudinal web/webs of a support tube preferably mounted with a screw or plug-in connection in a passenger vehicle runs/run expediently approximately in the direction of the force effect to be expected.
