Motor vehicle control arm () comprising two profiles () made from a metallic material, which are arranged at a distance opposite each other, and are connected to at least one plastic element () made from a fiber-reinforced plastic, wherein a plastic element () is designed in particular as a spring seat, which is designed to accommodate a motor vehicle spring. Such a motor vehicle control arm () is optimized with respect to weight and costs.

Motor vehicle control arm

The invention relates to a beam having at least one hollow chamber for receiving a bolt element in a bush of the beam. The beam is distinguished by the fact that the bush is of multipart design and at least one of these plurality of parts of the bush is cold-joined to the beam.

Beam having at least one hollow chamber

An axle carrier for a motor vehicle is disclosed having at least two attachment points, a metallic upper shell and a lower shell of fiber composite material coupled to the metallic upper shell. A first load path extending through the metallic upper shell between the at least two attachment points in an edge region, and a second load path shorter that the first load path extending through the lower shell.

Axle carrier with improved load path

The invention relates to a subframe for a motor vehicle, comprising an upper shell, a lower shell made from a fiber-reinforced plastic and a rib structure for stiffening the upper shell, wherein the upper shell is composed of a metallic material and the rib structure is composed of a plastic reinforced with short fibers and is formed integrally from the lower shell. The invention furthermore relates to a method for producing a subframe, wherein the lower shell together with the rib structure connected integrally therewith is formed from a stack of plies of a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic and joined to an upper shell made from a metallic material.
