Abstract

The invention is directed to an air spring which supports a vehicle body on another vibrating component with an air spring flexible member which can be charged with pressurized air. The ends of the air spring flexible member are mounted air tight on respective connecting parts. One of the connecting parts is mounted on the vehicle body and the other connecting part is mounted on a vehicle component. The connecting part mounted on the vehicle component includes an elastically tied vibration absorber mass in order to reduce vibrations of the vehicle component in the resonant region.
