Cross-member for a compound steering axle

摘要

The lateral carrier for a compound steering axle (11) has two longitudinal steering arms (13,14) and a lateral carrier (12) bonded to them, of a sheet metal in a closed profile. The center section of the carrier has a smaller cross section surface than the end sections bonded to the steering arms. The cross section carrier center section has at least three double-walled struts closed by outer bulges, separated from each other by at least partial drawing. The wall thickness of the center section is thinner than at the outer sections.
