Connection between vehicle axle and suspension arm

A connection between an axle body (1) of a vehicle and a suspension arm (2) which extends in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and crosses the axle body (1) comprises an axle pad (3), which is positioned between the axle body (1) and the suspension arm (2) and has a recess (5) in which the axle body (1) is accommodated, and comprises straps (4), by which the axle pad (3) and the axle body (1) are fixed to the suspension arm (2). In the mounted position, the axle body (1) is pressed into the recess (5) on account of a clamping force supplied by the straps (4), and in the process comes to bear against the inner wall of the recess (5) . That part of the axle body (1) which is accommodated in the axle pad (3) is securely welded to a single edge, running substantially parallel to the centre axis of the axle body (1), of the recess (5) or is securely welded only in the centre of the recess (5).
