Vibration damper for a motor vehicle

摘要

A vibration damper for a motor vehicle with a support spring, includes a damper tube with a longitudinal extension axis A, a spring disk, a protective insert, and a protective accordion boot which has a first end portion and a second end portion, wherein the protective accordion boot is secured at least indirectly to a piston rod by its first end portion, and wherein the protective accordion boot encloses damper tube in circumferential direction by its second end portion. The protective insert has at least one radially outwardly extending supporting portion, wherein the protective accordion boot is axially supported by the second end portion thereof at the supporting portion of the protective insert accompanied by a defined axial pre-loading, and wherein, with respect to the longitudinal extension axis A of the damper tube, the supporting portion extends radially beyond the inner diameter d of an end coil of support spring supported at the spring disk.
