The disclosure relates to a control arm for a wheel suspension system in a vehicle, including a sleeve-shaped aperture for the receiving of a bearing is formed in an integral control arm body, wherein the integral control arm body comprises a first side wall and a second side wall that is facing the first side wall. The sleeve-shaped aperture penetrates the first side wall and the second side wall. The sleeve-shaped aperture is formed sleeve-shaped with a first circumferential sleeve rim and a second circumferential sleeve rim. The first sleeve rim is formed by an outwardly shaped section of the first side wall that defines the sleeve-shaped aperture.

Modular vehicle platforms are disclosed. An example modular platform includes a frame to couple to a body of a vehicle. A first bracket is coupled to the frame. One of a second bracket or a third bracket is coupled to the frame. The first bracket is spaced from the second bracket or the third bracket. The first bracket and the second bracket enable attachment of a first suspension to the frame. The first bracket and the third bracket enable attachment of a second suspension to the frame. The first suspension has a first geometry that is different than a second geometry of the second suspension.

A head bearing arrangement for connecting a spring strut to a vehicle body includes a head bearing housing and a spring plate on which a load-bearing spring of the spring strut is supported. The spring plate is arranged on the head bearing housing. The spring plate is arranged on the head bearing housing by way of a conical seat, wherein a toothing is inserted in the conical seat between the spring plate and the head bearing housing.

An automobile undercarriage component has at least three elongated arms, each including a web and a rib having an inner wall surface. One of the three elongated arms is a first arm having a first one of the ribs and at least one of the three elongated arms is a second arm having a second one of the ribs. For each of the second ones of the ribs, the leading end of the respective second one of the ribs has a width in the direction parallel to the plane of the web and transverse to the direction of elongation of the arm which is narrower than the width of a leading end of the first one of the ribs, as an inner wall surface is disposed closer to an opposing outer wall surface in the respective second one of the ribs as compared to the first one of the ribs.

A control arm for the rear wheel suspension of a car where the control arm includes a cup-shaped spring mount with branches projecting from the spring seat. The branches may be designed as closed channels or U-shaped channels. In the upper part of the control arm there are flanges projecting from each side thereof. The flanges include a reinforced area around the spring seat. The cup-shaped spring seat is reinforces with wedges on the inside thereof. The spring seat and branches form a stiff frame structure. Also described is a method for manufacturing the control arm by forging.

A cover is disclosed for a chassis control arm which includes at least one bearing mount for a control arm bearing. The cover is formed separately from the chassis control arm and covers in the installed state at least part of the underside of the chassis control arm. Arranged on the cover is an extension which is intended as buffer and extends from the cover in the direction of the control arm bearing.

The invention concerns a multipiece spring link (100) for a wheel suspension of a vehicle, with: a first profiled side piece (101), forming a first side leg of the multipiece spring link (100), wherein the first profiled side piece (101) has a first bulge (105); a second profiled side piece (103), forming a second side leg of the multipiece spring link (100), wherein the second profiled side piece (103) has a second bulge (107); and wherein the first bulge (105) and the second bulge (107) are arranged one opposite the other and together form a spring receiving region (108) for the receiving of a spring.

A wheel mount, particularly for the front axle of a motor vehicle, has a basic body that has at least individual ones of the following accommodations or recesses: for accommodation of a kingpin for a wheel bearing, for connection of a brake caliper, for mounting of an upper wishbone fork, for mounting of an upper semi-trailing arm, for mounting of a tie rod, for mounting of a lower spring link, for mounting of a further lower wishbone, for positioning of a sensor, particularly an rpm sensor, for attachment of a sensor, particularly an rpm sensor, wherein the wheel mount is produced as a die-cast component made in one piece with these accommodations or recesses and connecting them with one another, preferably from light metal.

An automobile undercarriage component is provided with a web and a rib. The rib is configured so as to comprise a first section that is a section having the widest width and a second section that has a narrower width than the first section, and the second section having a narrower rib width than the first section as a result of an inner wall surface of the second section that is continuously formed from the web being provided so as to be adjacent to a facing outer surface wall.

A composite part for an air spring component of a motor vehicle includes a first element made of a first material and a second element made of a second material. The second element at least partially surrounds the first element. In the air spring component, the composite part can be bonded to at least one second component in an adhesive-bonded manner.
