Abstract

The invention relates to a suspension strut top mounting (1) in a body structure of a motor vehicle. The suspension strut top mounting (1) consists of two half-shells (2, 3) which are connected together in a rigid manner on the outer edge thereof (4, 5) and form a cavity (4) therebetween and are placed on top of each other in the support region (7) of the suspension strut top mounting (8). The suspension strut top mounting (1) is integrated into the body structure as a connecting node for adjacent hollow profiles (10, 12) of the body structure such that it reinforces and delivers a positive contribution to the crash behavior of the vehicle structure.
