The invention relates to a method for producing a bent torsional profile comprising the following process steps:

Method for producing a bent torsional profile and torsional profile

The disclosure relates to a method for producing an axle component for a motor vehicle, in which at least two metallic axle parts are joined integrally to one another. The axle component is a twist beam axle, in which lateral trailing arms are connected to each other via a transverse profile. In order to establish a target geometry of the axle component, the heat induced by a welding operation is utilized. The welding operation can be a specifically positioned weld, an additional weld or a blind weld. The heat of welding is utilized in order to achieve a compensation deformation and to compensate for distortion states and/or to align the axle component.

Method for producing an axle component

The invention relates to a motor vehicle axle, in particular a torsion beam axle, the rubber-solid material bearing being constructed in a disk-like manner from at least two disks made from solid material with a rubber layer which is arranged in between, and is characterized according to the invention in that a disk which is arranged on the outside in relation to the axial direction A of the rubber-solid material bearing has a collar which is oriented so as to stand upright toward the outside.

The present invention concerns a wheel suspensionfor a torsion beam axle, whereby a wheel mountrotates about a virtual steering axleas a result of a cornering force. According to the invention, it is further provided that a wheel mount bracketwith a yielding elementis coupled to the endof a longitudinally extending swing armof the torsion beam axle, so that an additional steering in positive toe occurs as a result of a lateral force effect.
