A supporting body for wheel guide members of motor vehicle wheels, especially rear wheels. The supporting body is adapted to be fastened to the vehicle body in end areas thereof by way of at least one elastic element. The supporting body is formed of two stamped or pressed sheet metal members, with each of the members being flat at one end and shell-shaped at the opposite end. The two sheet metal members are joined together in such a manner that in each case the flat end portion of one sheet metal member covers the shell-shaped portion of the opposite sheet metal member.

Supporting body for wheel guide members of motor vehicle wheels

An axle carrier for motor vehicles having two side members extending in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle and two transverse members which connect the side members and are connected to the side members so that the corners at the point of connection are rigid or stiff with respect to moments about a longitudinal axis of the side members. These side members are constructed as hollow profiles which are resistant to torsion and to bending and, in a region of the respective ends thereof, are provided with openings for accommodating elastic supporting elements enabling the connecting of the axle carrier to a body of the vehicle. The axle carrier connection for the wheel guide members are provided only on the side members. The transverse members are formed by open profiles flexible to torsion, with respect to their longitudinal axis, and resistant to bending in a vertical direction transversely to the longitudinal axis.
