A suspension strut includes a cylinder having a piston moveable in the cylinder, a coil spring arranged around the cylinder, and an abutment element for mounting the coil spring. The position of the abutment element is adjustably fixable along the longitudinal direction of the cylinder with respect to one direction, the cylinder has a male thread, and the abutment element has a female thread corresponding to the male thread. A thread insert is arranged in the abutment element, the thread insert has a holding region and an actuating region, and the region between the holding region and the actuating region can be arranged in the threads of the male thread of the cylinder. A holding means for the holding region is in the abutment element, the actuating region is mounted moveably in the abutment element, and the diameter of the thread insert is variable by movement of the actuating region.
