The present invention involves a control arm for use in the wheel suspension of a car. The arm is produced from a hollow, closed profile of high strength, extruded aluminium. The arm is produced in a wholly cold process, similar to the one used to produce aluminium fenders, involving stretch-bending, pressing, cutting and punching of the aluminium profile into the desired shape. The arm has a closed and smooth shape; in addition, it has a rib on its outer surface for fending off water and snow. |
