A spring link includes a link body which includes two side wall profiles which are parallel to one another at a distance and which are connected by a spring seat plate extending transversely from one side wall profile to the other side wall profile. Each side wall profile includes a side web having an outwardly directed upper collar section which extends in the longitudinal direction of the side web. The spring seat plate rests with a lateral longitudinal edge section on an upper collar section and is joined to the upper collar section. The side wall profiles of the link body are mirror-symmetrical to one another. The lower side of the link body opposite to the spring seat plate is open.

The disclosure relates to an elongate link arm member of a support link arm. A ball joint socket is disposed on a first longitudinal and of the link arm member. The link arm member in a sheet-metal shell construction mode is formed from sheet metal and has a cavity portion. The ball joint socket is a forging or casting from metal and possesses a fastening appendage which is configured in a materially integral manner so as to be in one piece with said ball joint socket. The ball joint socket by way of the fastening appendage engages in the cavity portion of the link arm member and is joined to the link arm member.

Support link arm

A chassis control arm includes a single-piece base body with several hollow chambers. The base body includes a plurality of bearing mounts. A first bearing mount is formed by one of the hollow chambers and traverses the base body to define a first bearing axis which extends in extrusion direction. A second bearing mount in a first end portion of the base body defines a second bearing axis in a direction which deviates from the extrusion direction of the hollow profile. A third bearing mount is positioned in a second end portion of the base body. The base body has a center portion which includes the first bearing mount and is arranged between the first and second end portions. The base body has a first leg extending from the first end portion to the center portion, and a second leg extending from the second end portion to the center portion.

A spring control arm for a wheel suspension of a motor vehicle is formed as a single-shell, essentially U-shaped sheet metal part and includes a back, spaced-apart side walls adjoining the back and each having an upper side wall region connected to the back, a lower side wall region distal from the back, and a central side wall region arranged between the upper and lower side wall regions. The spring control arm has first and a second end sections for attachment and a wider spring plate region disposed therebetween. The spring control arm has a substantially omega-shaped cross section in the spring plate region, which is more pronounced in a central longitudinal section due to outwardly projecting upper side wall sections than in an end longitudinal section of the spring plate region.

An efficient method for producing spring strut forks for motor vehicles is presented. In each case two spring strut forks are produced from a metallic extruded profile as a starting product. The extruded profile has a central, middle main chamber and four longitudinal chambers which are arranged offset with respect to one another over the circumference of the main chamber. Wall portions of the main chamber which are situated between the longitudinal chambers are removed, and the extruded profile is severed into two semifinished parts. Each semifinished part has one cylinder portion and two oppositely situated arm portions which project relative to the cylinder portions. The semifinished parts are subsequently mechanically machined, and one spring strut fork is produced from each semifinished part.

Motor vehicle control arm () comprising two profiles () made from a metallic material, which are arranged at a distance opposite each other, and are connected to at least one plastic element () made from a fiber-reinforced plastic, wherein a plastic element () is designed in particular as a spring seat, which is designed to accommodate a motor vehicle spring. Such a motor vehicle control arm () is optimized with respect to weight and costs.

Motor vehicle control arm

The disclosure relates to a motor vehicle control arm, like a wishbone, having an integral main body configured in a materially integral manner. A first bearing receptacle is connected to the main body. The main body has a first end portion having a second bearing receptacle, and a second end portion having a third bearing receptacle. The main body comprises a central portion. Said central portion connects the first and the second end portion. The central portion is configured as a cavity profile. The second and the third bearing receptacle are configured integrally and in a materially integral manner from the main body.

Motor vehicle control arm, and method for producing a motor vehicle control arm

A method for producing motor vehicle controls from extruded profiles and a motor vehicle control. A length section of an extruded profile strand is provided and this is either processed by cutting technology and divided into several extrusion profiles or is first divided into several extruded profiles and they are then processed via shear cutting. By means of a mechanical processing of the extrusion profiles, the motor vehicle controls are formed. The length section has a double T-shaped cross-section with a brace and two belts aligned perpendicular to the brace, wherein the end-side of the belts are connected to flanges. During manufacturing, a motor vehicle control is produced with a steering element, which comprises a middle part and two side arms. In the middle part as well as in the side arms, bearing housings are configured.
