An instrument panel support for installation between the two A-pillars of a motor vehicle. The instrument panel support comprises a crossmember which extends between the A-pillars and has at least one connecting member at each end for connecting the instrument panel support to the vehicle via fasteners. The connecting members have a U-shaped main body connected to the crossmember, its longitudinal axis aligned in the z-direction, with at least one support insert extending between the two wings and penetrated by a fastener for connecting the instrument panel support on the vehicle side. The opening side of the main body points in the transverse direction to the longitudinal extension of the crossmember. The support insert and the spine of the main body have fastening apertures aligned with one another at least in regions for passing the shank of a fastener therethrough.
