In a suspension support bracket including a bracket body including a suspension attachment portion configured such that a shock absorber of a suspension device of a vehicle is attached to the suspension attachment portion, the bracket body is constructed of a single metal plate, and thickness dimensions of a region of the suspension attachment portion of the bracket body and a periphery of the suspension attachment portion are larger than a thickness dimension of another region adjacent to the region of the suspension attachment portion and periphery of the suspension attachment portion.

A mounting apparatus for vehicle suspension ball joints that are firmly affixed for operation, are easily adjustable in a generally vertical direction for precise tuning of suspension geometry for dynamic performance in multiple axes using an array of cylindrical shims tuned to match fastener distance and height with a socket that has mounting bolts that engage a scalloped cap.

A manufacturing method of a member according to an aspect of the present invention is a manufacturing method of a member including a specific three-dimensional tubular portion, the manufacturing method including: a U-forming step of performing U-forming on metal material sheet using a U-forming die and punch including a U-forming punch to manufacture a U-formed article having a recessed cross-sectional shape; and an O-forming step of causing side end portions of the U-formed article to abut each other by an O-forming die to form abutting portions, in which a forming condition ratio a=Du/Do is set to 0.85 to 0.95.

The invention relates to a connection system for connecting a damper unit of a vehicle inside a wheel suspension of the vehicle, the connection system having: an upper attachment region for attaching the damping unit, at least part of said region surrounding a receiving area for the damping unit and the receiving area extending around a first axis acting as the damping axis of the damping unit; a lower attachment region for coupling to the wheel-side portion of the wheel suspension, said lower attachment region having, in particular, two mutually spaced lower sections with an attachment area therebetween and an intermediate region which connects the upper attachment region to the lower attachment region. The main extension of the intermediate region corresponds to the direction of the first axis and the intermediate region allows the passage of a drive shaft of the vehicle. The connection system is made of an extruded part, the extrusion direction of which is the direction in which the extruded material extends, said material thus forming the intermediate region of the connection system. The invention also relates to a connection system comprising a clamping mechanism.

A mounting apparatus for vehicle suspension ball joints that are firmly affixed for operation, are easily adjustable in a generally vertical direction for precise tuning of suspension geometry for dynamic performance in multiple axes using an array of cylindrical shims tuned to match fastener distance and height with a socket that has mounting bolts that engage a scalloped cap.

The invention relates to a chassis suspension component with a bracket made from a formable base material, preferably sheet steel, and comprising at least one slot for receiving a connecting bolt and at least one stop for an eccentric disc which is or can be connected rotationally fixedly to the connecting bolt. In order to be able to produce the eccentric stop process-reliably and economically without the risk of crack formation, the invention proposes to provide a tab formed from the base material and folded relative to a body portion of the suspension component and having a recess surrounding the slot, which recess defines two elongate stop faces running parallel to each other, wherein the stop faces serve as a stop for the eccentric disc. The invention also relates to a method for producing a chassis suspension component.

A technique for improving durability of a frame is provided. A method for manufacturing a honeycomb structure from a triangular hollow pipe composed of a first flat plate, a second flat plate, and a third flat plate includes forming a first slit in the hollow pipe so as to cut all the flat plates except the first plate and forming a second slit in the hollow pipe at a position different from a position of the first slit position in a longitudinal direction of the hollow pipe so as to cut all the flat plates except the second flat plate and folding back the first plate at the first slit position and folding back the second flat plate at the position of the second slit position.

The present disclosure relates to a method of manufacturing a vehicular hybrid suspension arm and a hybrid suspension arm manufactured using the same. The method of manufacturing a hybrid suspension arm includes preparing an assembly of a ball stud and a bearing; preparing a suspension arm body; attaching a ball joint pipe and bush pipes to the suspension arm body; manufacturing a suspension arm main body by inserting the assembly of the ball stud and the bearing into the ball joint pipe; inserting the suspension arm main body into a mold in which a plurality of fixing pins are formed; injecting an insert molding into a ball joint portion comprising the ball joint pipe and the ball stud in a direction of an upper surface of the ball joint pipe through the mold; and inserting and assembling bushes into the bush pipes.

A method for producing motor vehicle controls from extruded profiles and a motor vehicle control. A length section of an extruded profile strand is provided and this is either processed by cutting technology and divided into several extrusion profiles or is first divided into several extruded profiles and they are then processed via shear cutting. By means of a mechanical processing of the extrusion profiles, the motor vehicle controls are formed. The length section has a double T-shaped cross-section with a brace and two belts aligned perpendicular to the brace, wherein the end-side of the belts are connected to flanges. During manufacturing, a motor vehicle control is produced with a steering element, which comprises a middle part and two side arms. In the middle part as well as in the side arms, bearing housings are configured.
