Abstract
A support arrangement comprising a first support part for connection to a suspension strut and to a steering device of a motor vehicle, and a second support part for holding a wheel bearing, the first support part and the second support part having wall regions formed in a metal-casting process, the first support part and the second support part being connected to each other by means of screws, two brake support arms being formed on the second support part for attachment of the brake device, and the one brake support arm having wall regions which are formed such that they are substantially thinner than the corresponding wall regions of the other brake support arm. By producing the support arrangement in two parts a considerable saving in weight over producing it in one part can be achieved, with all safety regulations being observed.
