Abstract

Vibration damper, in particular a shock absorbing strut, with an essentially U-shaped decompression stop boundary bracket, which bracket is fastened to a container tube, and in the event of a rebound of a vehicle axle comes into contact with a chassis-side support surface. The bracket includes a base plate with side walls, and the entire decompression stop boundary bracket is formed from a single bent component. The base plate is realized in a seamless manner and has a cutout which is adapted to the diameter of the container tube and acts as a positioning stop for the entire decompression stop boundary bracket.
