Abstract: A spring leg mounting and a spring cup receiver for a spring at a wheel of a motor vehicle. At one end of the spring is a spring receiver that is toward the vehicle wheel. At the other end of the spring is the apparatus of the invention. An antifriction bearing is at that other end. A plastic cap surrounds the bearing, supports the bearing ring and seals the bearing. The cap includes a first part which defines a spring receiver that receives the respective end of the spring. The spring receiver and the spring are so shaped that the spring surrounds the receiver so that the partial region supporting the bearing is arranged concentrically within the regions forming the spring receiver. A second part of the cap is U-shaped and has a cross section with arms that extend past the radial sides of the bearing. The cap parts are snap connected together. A vibration damping pad of urethane is disposed between the spring receiving cap first part and the spring.
