Abstract: A shock absorber strut is provided including a tubular body, a clamping member, a steering knuckle, a fastening member and a positioning member. The tubular body is arranged at a lower region of the strut. The clamping member clamps the steering knuckle to the tubular body and includes a continuous slot along the steering knuckle and a fastening member which fastens the steering knuckle tubular body. The positioning member is a one piece component for positioning the clamping member with respect to the tubular body and includes a stop for positioning in the longitudinal direction and a projection for positioning in a circumferential direction. Optionally, a further positioning connection may be provided including a bead on the positioning member and a corresponding recess in the tubular body which engages the bead and allows the clamping member to be exactly aligned in the circumferential direction.

Abstract: A spring strut with a steering knuckle, the spring strut having a tubular body to which the steering knuckle is fastened by a screw connection. The steering knuckle has a continuous slot which, together with the fastener, forms a clamping connection between the tubular body and the steering knuckle. A positioning connection, including a recess and an engagement part, exactly aligns the tubular body and steering knuckle with one another in the circumferential direction.
