Abstract
A subframe for a rear axle of a two-track motor vehicle includes a deformation element which, as viewed in a vehicle longitudinal direction, is provided at a forward end of the subframe between the subframe and a functional unit of the motor vehicle such that in the event of a rear-end crash a forward shift of the subframe causes the deformation element to come into contact with the functional unit and to undergo deformation to thereby dissipate crash energy.
