An automotive component manufacturing method includes a molding process of pressing a portion of a hollow tube formed from a metal material, or a composite material including a metal and a resin, so as to deform the portion of the hollow tube, from a tube outer side toward a tube inner side, to beyond an axial center of the hollow tube, and mold the portion of the hollow tube into a deformed section deformed with a concave profile; and a deformation process of deforming a location having a high level of residual stress in a closed cross-section configured by the deformed section so as to deform the location out-of-plane.

An arm end for a trailing arm, in particular for commercial vehicles, comprising a main body which configures a working volume for an air spring system, the main body having an access region which is designed to provide an access into the working volume, characterized in that a large part of the working volume is configured substantially below the access region.
