Friction damper supported by a joint in the suspension of a wheelset of a railway car, comprising an axle (1), together with wheels (12), bearings (13), and axle boxes (2), there are helical springs (3) fitted to the ends of the axle (1) at least on both sides of the axle box (2) of the axle (1), in order to carry the railway car or to attach the bogie of the railway car to the frame of the bogie (4). At the side of the upper end of each helical spring (3) there is a slider (6) arranged to be moveably attached to the axle box (2) of the axle (1), in which there is at least one curved guide surface (7), which guide surface (7) has at least one radius of curvature parallel to the axle of the wheel pair around the axle. At the upper end of the helical springs (3), a friction damper is fitted, which comprises a counter surface (8) supported on the curved guide surface (7) of the axle box's (2) slider (6), the shape of which corresponds to the shape of the curved guide surface (7), a spring plate (9), which contains a head cap (17) for supporting the upper end of the helical spring (3), and at least one planar slanting friction surface (10) to be supported on a planar slanting counter surface (11) in the frame (4) of the bogie/car, which is correspondingly arranged to correspond to the slanting friction surface (10) of the friction damper.
