Abstract: A fixing arrangement is provided for fixing a spring and/or damping element to a continuous hollow member of a motor vehicle body, into the lower flange of which a through-opening for the spring and/or damping element is let. The spring and/or damping element fixes a wheel suspension member of the motor vehicle to the hollow member by way of a load-distributing support. In order to support a longer spring and/or damping element against the hollow member of the motor vehicle body without increasing the distance from the wheel suspension member, the spring and/or damping element passes right through the hollow member and extends upwards from the upper flange of the hollow member. The spring and/or damping element is supported against the upper flange of the hollow member by a radially protruding socket. An adapter plate, which, when fitted, is fastened to the socket with a bracing and separating effect, is supported on the lower flange of the hollow member.
