Abstract
A wishbone for an automotive suspension and comprising two sheet metal halves, for attaching the front wheels of a motor vehicle. The wishbone is provided with two points of articulation on the chassis, one behind the other along the direction of travel and representing a horizontal axis () for the wishbone () to tilt around. The wishbone is also provided with one point () of attachment for the suspension. The object is a simpler and hence more cost-effective wishbone. At least one of the points (&) of articulation is accordingly a hollow hexagonal cross-section bolt () comprising two halves (&) that engages a bearing housing and is an integral component of the wishbone halves (&).
