An apparatus for forming a beam member for a torsion beam in a rear wheel suspension system of an automobile wherein said apparatus includes top and bottom dies for forming a U-shaped or V-shaped section and an extension section of the beam member, upper and lower pad-dies coupled to top and bottom dies for forming a rectangular section of the beam member before operation of the top and bottom dies, and left and fight cams installed at both sides of a pipe so as to be horizontally inserted into the pipe by a hydraulic cylinder for maintaining inner shapes of the extension section and the rectangular section, said cams preventing both distortion and wrinkling from occurring on the rectangular section and the extension section of the beam upon operation of the top and bottom dies, thereby allowing the beam member to be formed to have different cross sections at different portions of the beam with complete symmetry, by a single process.
