Abstract

An attachment of a vehicle axle to an axle suspension of a vehicle, such as a utility vehicle, includes a first plate element arranged on the upper side of the vehicle axle, a second plate element arranged on the lower side of the vehicle axle, and at least one spring clip, which connects the vehicle axle to an axle spring suspension of the axle suspension via the plate elements. To simplify assembly and mounting of this attachment, at least one web which is attached on its upper side to the first plate element and on its lower side to the second plate element may be arranged on each side of the vehicle axle so that the vehicle axle is completely surrounded and enclosed by the webs and the plate elements.
