Blocking device for a shock absorber of a motor vehicle

A blocking device for a shock absorber of a motor vehicle, said blocking device comprising:

• a first blocking member having an insertion opening, which is open-ended in a radial direction, for attachment of a piston rod of the shock absorber, said first blocking member having a receptacle, said first blocking member including a first locking element;
• and
• a second blocking member configured for formfitting placement in the receptacle of the first blocking member in axial and radial directions to thereby close the insertion opening in the radial direction, while being held in the first blocking member, said second blocking member including a second locking element for engagement in the first locking element of the first blocking member, when the second blocking member is inserted in the first blocking member to thereby inhibit a movement of the first and second blocking members in relation to one another,
• wherein the second blocking member has a rod-shaped configuration, said receptacle of the first blocking member being configured in the form of two through openings which are closed in the axial direction and arranged in relation to one another such that the second blocking member is insertable in the first blocking member by a movement which is directed substantially tangential with respect to the piston rod of the shock absorber, said first and second locking elements engaging one another, when the second blocking member is fully inserted in the first blocking member.
