Abstract

A commercial vehicle has its axle housings supported on the chassis frame by way of spring elements. Each spring element is connected to a clamping yoke having two legs, of which in each case one leg rests against the front of the axle housing and the other leg rests against the rear of the axle housing, as seen in the driving direction. The legs are connected to one another by a web. Each leg is fixed and secured on a fixing projection on a longitudinal side of the axle housing, and the web is spaced apart from the upper side of the axle housing.
