An air spring axle assembly for spring suspension and sway restraining of vehicle chassis, including a U-shaped frame spring-mounted in relation to the chassis and supporting a stiff wheel axle. The U-shaped frame is torsion-proof and constructed as a box girder, the air springs of the assembly resting in the vicinity of the web of the girder, the wheel axle unit with the wheels being tightly fixed to said frame as a unit, and the U-girder being also mounted in the chassis in chassis shackles by means of a draw link mounted for each leg in the U-girder. The opposite or free end of the link is linked to the corresponding leg of the U-girder at a point between the chassis shackles and the web and the ends of the legs remote from the web are inserted in the chassis shackles and held in the latter by sway controlling units combined with the mounting bushings of the shackles and enabling a swinging movement, guided laterally through the mountings, of the wheel axle in a vertical direction.
