A connecting strut for a chassis of a vehicle comprising an elongated carrier having at least two carrier elements wholly spaced apart from contact with each other which are connected with each other at their ends by a respective connecting element, wherein the carrier has a low torsional stiffness and a high bending stiffness with respect to its longitudinal axis, wherein a cross-section of at least one carrier element has the shape of a rectangle the long sides of which are curved towards the respective other carrier element at least in a region of a neutral axis, wherein the curved carrier element has only a uniform open profile cross-section throughout an entire length thereof extending between the associated ends thereof, wherein the open profile cross-section is directed outwards away from the respective other carrier element and terminates in a pair of outermost edges, and wherein the curved carrier element has in the region of the neutral axis a smaller distance from the other carrier element than from the outermost edges thereof.
