The disclosure relates to a method for producing a fiber preform, wherein: at least one dry and textile fiber material is provided; the fiber material is assembled into a plurality of individual layers; the plurality of individual layers is provided with a binder; the plurality of individual layers is layered to form a package; and a plurality of interconnected fiber preforms is formed by pressing the package. A separation of the plurality of interconnected fiber preforms and activation of the binder occur in a common process step. The disclosure furthermore relates to a corresponding system.

A four-point link () for a wheel suspension of a vehicle, having a core element (), a thread () and four bushings (). The thread () is pre-impregnated with a resin. The core element () has a torsional element () and four supporting arms () integrally connected to the torsional element (). A bushing () is arranged, on each respective distal end of the supporting arms (), for holding a respective bearing element. The core element () and the respective bushings () are at least partially wrapped with the thread () in order to connect the bushing (), in each case, to the thread () at least in a non-positive manner. In addition, a method for producing the above-mentioned four-point link ().

Four-point link

A ball joint having a ball pin and a housing. The ball pin together with the ball is accommodated in the housing to move in a rotational and pivotal manner. The ball is at least partially surrounded by a structural component. The structural component is essentially formed from a fiber-plastic composite structure and at least partially forms the housing.

Ball joint for a chassis

A method of producing a control arm for a motor vehicle, in particular a multi-point control arm, preferably a transverse control arm, which is substantially formed by a fiber-plastic composite structure. The method includes the steps: creating of a preform structure with load-adapted fiber orientation, introducing the preform structure into a forming tool, consolidating the preform structure in the tool by application of pressure and/or temperature, and removing and further processing of the control arm.

Control arm and method for producing same

A method of producing a chassis component. The method including the steps of coating an outside of a structural component, coating an outside of a joint cartridge which has been preassembled as a joint, and permanently and securely connecting the structural component to the joint cartridge using a material bonding or joining process.

Method for producing a chassis component

A connecting piece for the articulated connection of components disposed in the chassis of a vehicle. The connecting piece comprises a base body () made out of sheet metal in which at least one through bore () is provided, a plastic part () is rigidly connected to the base body (), and at least one articulated joint (), comprising a housing (), rigidly connected to the base body (). The housing () is inserted into the through bore (), in an axial direction (), and has a housing section () with a radial shoulder () disposed outside the hole () and embedded in the plastic part (), by which the housing section (), rigidly connected to the housing (), is axially supported on the base body ().
