Self-pumping hydropneumatic suspension strut unit with internal level control, with an oil-filled working cylinder subject to the pressure of gas cushions and with a damping piston, which is free to slide inside the cylinder and is mounted at the end of a hollow piston rod, the cavity of which serves as a pump cylinder for a pump rod attached to the working cylinder. Oil is drawn from a reservoir space when the piston rod travels outward, whereas the oil is conveyed into the working space when the piston rod travels inward. The pump rod passes through the end wall of the working space and is held axially in position by an end-mounted disk, which acts as a universal joint for the rod, and the disk engages in a groove in the pump rod and is held in place by its outer circumference axially between the working cylinder and the end wall of the working cylinder. The disk has a slot to accept the pump rod, the first area of this slot having a diameter corresponding to the base of the groove, whereas the second area has a diameter corresponding to the outside diameter of the pump rod.
