Wheel suspension has a steering knuckle support with two hole openings opposed to one another in an axial direction and form openings of a mounting hole, two axle pins spaced apart axially, extend in axial direction and engage in the mounting hole through the hole openings, and a chassis component supported at axial end portions of the axle pins to be swivelable relative to the steering knuckle. A first contact area at the hole openings has a conical inner circumferential surface. The conical inner circumferential surfaces of the first contact areas narrow in diameter toward one another in axial direction. The axle pins have a second contact area with a conical outer circumferential surface that narrow in diameter toward one another in axial direction and contact the conical inner circumferential surfaces of the first contact areas.

Wheel suspension for a vehicle

A method of producing a stabilizer () of a motor vehicle, such that the stabilizer includes a torsion bar () and longitudinal links (). The longitudinal links () are in each case connected to the torsion bar () by welding, and the longitudinal links () and the torsion bar () are heat-treated before welding. Each longitudinal link () is welded at one end to the torsion bar () on both sides, in each case, by a respective multilayer weld seam (), and each weld seam () is made with unequal widths such that the width of the weld seam () adjacent to the torsion bar () is shorter than its width adjacent to the respective longitudinal link ().

Stabilizer for a motor vehicle and method for producing the same

A motor vehicle, in particular a utility vehicle (UV), with a vehicle frame () and at least one vehicle axle () supported relative to the vehicle frame () by one or more connecting rods (). The connecting rod or rods () is/are linked to the vehicle axle () by at least one articulated arrangement () which is connected, by connecting elements () that pass through contact surfaces (), to a support block () fixed on the axle (). The axis () of each connecting element () extends through the contact surface (), through which the respective connecting element () passes, at an angle (&#x3b1;) different from 90&#xb0;.

Motor vehicle having a vehicle frame and articulation arrangement

A motor vehicle, in particular a utility vehicle (UV), with a vehicle frame and/or a sub-frame () that has contact surfaces () extending transversely and/or longitudinally relative to the driving direction (F) and are connection surfaces to other structural units (). The structural units are connected by connecting elements () that pass through the contact surfaces (). The connecting elements each define an axis () and are aligned such that the axes of the connecting elements extend through the contact surface () at an angle different from 90&#xb0;.
