A connection between an axle body of a wheel axle of a vehicle and an axle carrying arm (9) which extends in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and crosses the axle body substantially at right angles comprises a supporting plate (11) which is mounted on the carrying arm on the side of the carrying arm remote from the axle body, and clamping means which fixedly connect the supporting plate (11), the carrying arm (9) and the axle body to one another. The connection furthermore comprises a shock absorber attachment part (21) on the side of the supporting plate (11) for attaching a shock absorber (8). The shock absorber attachment part (21) comprises two lips (22) which are at a distance from one another. The shock absorber attachment part (21) is a separate component which is formed by the two lips (22) and a plate-shaped part (27) on which the two lips are fixedly fastened. The plate-shaped part (27) is designed to be clamped between the carrying arm (9) and the supporting plate (11).
