Spring carrier arm

A spring carrier arm (1,101) for the hinged suspension of a longitudinal carrier arm of an axle suspension system for a motor vehicle comprises an outermost part (2,102), and an innermost part (3,103), said innermost part, when seen in the transverse direction of the vehicle, being located on the inside in relation to the outermost part. The innermost part is connected at the uppermost end to the outermost part. The outermost part and the innermost part of the spring carrier arm each comprise a plate-shaped clamping part (4,5,104,105) near the underside. The plate-shaped clamping parts extend essentially parallel to one another and form between them a space for a hinge loop of the longitudinal carrier arm, and each have an opening (106,107) for the insertion of a hinge pin to be inserted through the hinge loop. The innermost part of the spring carrier arm is preferably manufactured as a casting and is provided with an integral mounting flange (9,109) for attachment of a strut element extending in the transverse direction of the vehicle.
