Abstract
The invention relates to spring strut with a flexible pad between a coil spring and a spring-plate which is firmly connected to a cylindrical container of an oscillation damper. The flexible pad, which is used, in particular, for noise damping, is formed by a component of disk-shaped design which is flat on both sides, is composed of rubber, PU or some other plastic, and is connected in a captive and positionally correct manner to the spring-plate. For this purpose, at least one inward-pointing projection and/or at least one aperture is arranged on the flexible pad, interacting with a corresponding aperture and/or projection of the spring-plate. The flexible pad is adapted to the surface of the spring receptacle of the spring-plate by the prestressed coil spring.
