Shock-absorbing leg comprises a cylinder (1), and a spring plate (3) having a bushing section (15) for a connection to the cylinder. A chamber (13) arranged on the cylinder side is at least partly filled with a primary formable material. The bushing section lies in contact with the primary formable material which in the solid state transfers a supporting force from the cylinder to the spring plate. A force-locking rotation-securing connection inserted in the force-transfer path from the spring plate to the cylinder determines the position of the spring plate to the cylinder. The bushing section of the spring plate has at least one rotation-securing profile (21) restricted in the peripheral direction for receiving the primary formable material. Independent claims are also included for alternative shock-absorbing legs.
