Abstract
A twist beam axle has two side arms and a twist profile. The twist profile is joined to a side arm by a weld. At least in the area of the welded joint, the twist profile has a wall with a wall thickness that is greater than the wall thickness of a wall of one side arm. The twist profile has a joining surface at each end section and the side arms each have a joining surface, wherein the twist profile and the side arms are each joined at mutually facing joining surfaces by a weld. The joining surface on the end section of the twist profile has a bevel manufactured without cutting. The joining gap formed between the mutually facing joining surfaces of the end section and the side arm is configured in a V-shape.
