Abstract
The invention relates to a preassembly device for preassembling an air spring on a body (e.g., a car body) that has an assembly interface. Embodiment of the preassembly device include a centering member for centering the preassembly device on the assembly interface, and a connector for connecting to an air spring. With embodiments, the preassembly device further includes a carrier (or support element) extending away from the preassembly device. A seal provided on the carrier for sealing a discharge opening of the body may be provided at the assembly interface, wherein the centering member may be configured for aligning the seal at the discharge opening. The invention provides a device that can provide a low-cost and simple sealing of the outlet openings in the area of the mounting interface.
