Abstract: A method for manufacturing a pressure vessel for a motor vehicle comprises the steps: providing a hollow basic body as a primary stage of the pressure vessel, wherein the basic body has an initial internal volume, and wherein the basic body has a wall, which extends fully around a longitudinal axis of the basic body, wherein the wall has an opening, which has an opening rim; providing a hollow auxiliary body, which has a base wall and a peripheral wall, wherein the peripheral wall is open on a side lying opposite the base wall; joining the auxiliary body with the basic body at the opening in the wall of the basic body, such that the pressure vessel having a desired final internal volume which is larger or smaller than the initial internal volume of the basic body is obtained. In addition, such a pressure vessel in the form of an air suspension pot of a suspension is described.

Abstract: A stabilizing strut for a chassis of a vehicle has an elongated strut body made of sheet metal which has at least one first eye at a first longitudinal end and at least one second eye at a second longitudinal end. The strut body has a curvature at least such that the strut body lies completely outside an imaginary connecting straight line between the at least one first and the at least one second eye at least in a partial region. The strut body is built up from two individual sheet metal parts which are arranged one on each side of a longitudinal center plane. The two sheet metal parts are joined to one another between the at least one first eye and the at least one second eye at their peripheral edges on a longitudinal side of the sheet metal parts oriented towards the imaginary connecting straight line, at least over a partial length of this longitudinal side of the strut body which amounts to at least 50% of the total length of this longitudinal side of the strut body.
