Abstract
A rear axle for a motor vehicle, especially for a four-wheel drive motor vehicle with a torsionally soft cross bearer member, includes longitudinal guide members welded to the ends of the cross bearer, whereby the wheels are supported on the longitudinal guide members; the cross bearer member together with guide members is pivotally connected at the body in bearings which are arranged in the center axis of the cross bearer. The cross bearer includes a center section with an opening for the passage therethrough of a drive shaft. This opening is so large that the drive shaft comes to lie approximately inside of the interior contour formed by the cross section of the bearer.
