Leaf spring (1) for a wheel suspension on a motor vehicle is produced from a fiber composite material. Leaf spring includes a central longitudinal section (3) and two adjoining axial end sections (10, 11) tapered in relation to the width of the leaf spring. Resin-impregnated unidirectional fibers (23) extend axially, without being cut, between the axial ends (4, 5) of the leaf spring (1). An unfinished leaf spring (2) includes axial end sections (10, 11) with a substantially V-shaped recess or final geometry, thereby forming two legs (8, 9) that extend at angles to the longitudinal extension of the unfinished leaf spring (2), said legs (8, 9) resting closely against each other in the finished leaf spring (1). Individual elongate segments (6; 13, 14) of substantially identical geometry which are separately produced as fiber composite bodies and which are assembled before being cured form the leaf spring (1, 2). |
