A method of producing a chassis module () with a structural component () having a through-going aperture () into which a ball joint housing () is inserted. An outer periphery of the ball joint housing () is connected all round to an edge section () of the aperture () by a first material-cohesive joining () without a filler. In order to stabilize the ball joint housing () in the aperture (), the ball joint housing () is additionally connected all round to an inner wall section () of the aperture () at a location spaced away from the edge section (), by a second material-cohesive joining () without a filler. The chassis module () is produced by the method, and the chassis module is in the form of a flanged connector () or a multi-point link.
