A suspension thrust bearing device for use with a suspension spring in an automotive suspension strut of a vehicle. The device includes an upper annular bearing member and a lower annular bearing member in relative rotation. The lower annular bearing member having a body provided with an embedded stiffening insert. The device further provides a damping element made of resilient material and interposed between the lower annular bearing member and the suspension spring. A radial flange of the damping element prevents separation from the lower side of the radial flange of the lower cap.

A multi-point link for a chassis of a motor vehicle. The multi-point link has at least one hollow profile portion including fiber-reinforced plastic and at least one load introduction element including a metallic material. The hollow profile portion, when viewed in cross section, has at least one hollow space formed as a circumferentially closed chamber. The hollow profile portion and the load introduction element are connected to one another in a common connection portion via a nondetachable glued plug-in connection. At least one stiffening element, which is fixedly connected to the hollow profile portion, is arranged in the chamber to increase the stiffness of the multi-point link.

A strut assembly including a spring to help absorb impacts and a shock absorber to help control motion of the spring is disclosed. The shock absorber includes a base assembly and is mounted between a top mount assembly and a knuckle. The top mount assembly mounts to the body of the vehicle and helps support the spring. An upper spring seat is adjacent the top mount assembly and receives one end of the spring. A lower spring seat formed of a composite material is supported by the base assembly and is adapted to support another end of the spring. The lower spring seat includes at least one reinforcing element having a plurality of reinforcing cords disposed between an upper surface and a lower surface for improving impact resistance thereof.

A suspension system has a spring which may be prevented from being completely withdrawn and separated from a spring pad even in a situation in which an additional rebound further occurs in a full-rebound state and the spring deviates from a range (a free height of the spring) in which the spring can be extended.

The present disclosure provides a hybrid suspension arm for a vehicle, having excellent durability. A hybrid suspension arm for a vehicle according to one embodiment of the present disclosure comprises: a suspension arm body which is made of metal material and comprises a top plate part and two sidewall parts extending downward from the top plate part to be open downward; and an insert molding which is made of plastic material and is formed by being insert-molded in the suspension arm body, wherein a thickness of at least a portion in the portion of the insert molding that comes in contact with the top plate part and the sidewall parts is in the range of 2 mm to 3 mm.

A vehicle component (1, 17, 31, 46, 55, 62) for a motor vehicle, with a structural component (7, 16, 30) and with a casing (2, 18, 32, 38, 56, 57, 79). The structural component (7, 16, 30) is at least partially or completely overmolded and/or embedded by casting in order to form the casing (2, 18, 32, 38, 56, 57, 79). To avoid any interruption of the casing (2, 18, 32, 38, 56, 57, 79) and/or interruption of corrosion protection in the area of the holding point (8), a holding point covering (12, 15, 39, 36, 45, 54, 61) is arranged at a holding point (8) for holding the structural component (7, 16, 30) in an injection-molding die and/or a casting mold.

An axle link for a motor vehicle includes a body-side connecting element and a wheel-side connecting element. The connecting elements are connected to one another by a rod element, comprised of a metal rod and a reinforcement casing. The metal rod is made of a ductile material and is anchored in the reinforcement casing at the connecting elements. The reinforcement casing is made of a brittle material and has a predetermined breaking point at a longitudinal position between the connecting elements.

This manufacturing method for a link part is a method of manufacturing a link part having one end portion having a connecting hole and provided on one side in one direction from an intermediate part which is long in the one direction and has a first side wall and a second side wall each having a pilot hole at least at one end portion and disposed to face each other and a connecting wall connecting one side edge of the first side wall and one side edge of the second side wall, and the other end portion provided on the other side therefrom in the one direction. The method includes a reinforcing process of inserting a metal core into the pilot hole, and an O-bending process of O-bending the first side wall and the second side wall so that the other side edge of the first side wall and the other side edge of the second side wall are brought into contact with each other after the reinforcing process.

There is provided a vehicular suspension arm used for a suspension device of a vehicle. The vehicular suspension arm according to an embodiment of the present invention may comprise: a body portion constituting a basic body of the vehicular suspension arm; and a mounting portion formed in one end of the body portion and configured to connect the vehicular suspension arm to a wheel or a vehicle body of the vehicle, wherein the body portion may have a closed-box-section structure in which a hollow inner space is defined, and the closed-box-section structure may be configured such that the body portion is formed to integrally extend around the hollow inner space.
