Abstract
A bearing for a spring strut as well as for a coil spring of the spring strut is provided by way of spring supports which rest against supporting elements and are held in a mutually non-rotatable manner by twist fixations. The spring elements are constructed such that the same stiffnesses are formed over the circumference of the spring winding even though the twist fixation is provided. Furthermore, a spring plate of the lower bearing of the spring is provided. The spring plate is adjustably arranged on the shock absorber tube, and thus springs which have different lengths can be used.
