The invention relates to a twist-beam rear axle for motor vehicles, which comprises two longitudinal links (2, 3) connected by a cross member (4), and to a method for producing a cross member (4). The cross member is comprised of a hollow profile with a middle section (5) that is open in areas. This middle section has a longitudinally extending cutout (8) at whose edge areas webs (11) are provided at least in sections. Ends (6, 7) that are closed whereby forming a tubular shape are adjoined to the middle section (5). The webs (11) are curved in an arched manner, whereby the aperture angle between a tangent lying on the outer periphery of the middle section (5) and a tangent lying on the end of the webs ranges between 5 DEG and 90 DEG , preferably between 15 DEG and 70 DEG . |
