Abstract
A connecting arrangement for a motor vehicle wheel suspension, with a spring plate for receiving a vehicle spring, a joint and a connecting strut, which is articulated to the spring plate by way of the joint. The joint includes a fastening section that extends in an axial direction and engages in a fastening hole formed in the spring plate. The fastening section passes through the fastening hole and is shaped outside the hole, on a side of the spring plate facing away from the joint, to form a contact surface that is supported axially against the spring plate.

A connecting system for a vehicle wheel suspension, with a spring plate (3) for receiving a vehicle spring (20), a joint (2) and a connecting strut (24), which is articulated to the spring plate (3) by the joint (2),
- the joint comprises a fastening section (10) extending in an axial direction (8) and engaging in a fastening hole (11) formed in the spring plate (3),
- the fastening section (10) passing through the fastening hole (11) and being shaped outside the fastening hole, on a side of the spring plate (3) facing away from the joint (2), to form a contact surface (12) that is supported axially against the spring plate (3).
A connecting system for a vehicle wheel suspension comprising:
- a spring plate receiving a vehicle spring, a joint and a connecting strut,
- the connecting strut being articulated to the spring plate via the joint,
- the joint comprising a fastening section extending in an axial direction and engaging in a fastening hole formed in the spring plate,
