Abstract

A Shock absorber, in particular a MacPherson strut unit, with a decompression stop limit bracket which is fastened to a container tube and which, in the event of a rebound of a vehicle axle, comes into contact with a body-side support surface, comprising a base plate with side walls which is welded to a reinforcement plate and a radial guide plate which is connected to the container tube, characterized by the fact that the side walls and the guide plate as well as the reinforcement plate form a groove which is filled by a weld seam such that all the parts forming the groove are connected to one another by means of the weld seam.
