Abstract
Guide for the piston rod of a piston-cylinder assembly, especially for a vibration damper, a shock-absorbing strut, or a level-control device. The guide has a guide body with an outer end surface holding a piston rod seal, where the piston rod is installed in the guide and sealed with freedom to move in the axial direction. The piston rod seal has an axial extension opposite the piston-cylinder assembly, which extension is held in an annular recess in the end surface, which recess is spaced from the piston rod and coaxial to the piston rod.
