A module ( ) for a motor vehicle comprising a suspension strut ( ) including an outer tubular housing ( ) for a hydraulic damper ( ) and a spring seat ( ); and a steering knuckle ( ); wherein the housing, the spring seat and the steering knuckle are formed as an integral one-piece assembly. Reduces assembly complexity, time and cost.

Steering knuckle and suspension module

A roll control actuator ( ) for installation between first and second axially aligned parts ( ) of a torsion bar ( ) has a cylindrical housing ( ) connectable by an end wall ( ) to the second part of the torsion bar. A rod ( ) is positioned inside the housing, extends out of the other end ( ) of the housing, and is connectable to the second part of the torsion bar. A cylindrical inner sleeve ( ) is positioned inside the housing between the housing and the rod; and the housing, the rod, and the inner sleeve are coaxial on an axis (A), with the rod being rotatable about the axis relative to the housing. The actuator further has securing means ( ) for securing the rod and the housing together to substantially prevent relative axial movement, first linking means ( ) disposed between the housing and the inner sleeve and generating rotational movement of the housing about the axis on axial movement of the inner sleeve, and second linking means ( ) disposed between the inner sleeve and the rod, generating rotational movement of the rod about the axis on rotation of the sleeve about the axis and allowing axial movement of the inner sleeve relative to the rod. Control means ( ) are associated with the inner sleeve to control the relative rotational movement between the rod and the housing.
