Abstract:
1. An elastic connection element having variable rigidity for connecting a suspension arm and a stabilizer of a motor vehicle axle that are spaced apart from each other, the connection element either having a strand shape or being tubular, wherein the connection element comprises: coupling points ( a region of the connection element between the coupling points ( one of a channel and a connection line ( a valve ( one piston rod extends from a first axial side of the piston and another piston rod extends from a second axial side of the piston; a positioning ring is located in the cylinder on each of the first and the second axial sides of the piston, the positioning rings position the piston within the cylinder relative to the connection line, and each of the positioning rings comprises a seal which respectively seals the first and the second chamber against leakage of the hydraulic media; a slide bearing is supported on the first axial side of the piston by the positioning ring and the slide bearing supports the piston rod on the first axial side of the piston; the cylinder supports another slide bearing which supports the piston rod on the second axial side of the piston; and the seals are axially located between the piston and the slide bearing on the respective axial side of the piston.
