    摘要: A replacement steering and suspension support cross member is configured to replace the original cross member in an automobile that, as originally designed, could only receive small block motors into its engine bay, so that a big block motor can be installed in the engine bay. The cross member has first and second end portions that are joined, longitudinally, by a central portion. The central portion is recessed from the front and top of the end portions. The assembly further includes upper and lower control arms at each end as well as shock supports. The cross member is configured to reside at a transverse position that is behind the position of the original cross member, while the spindle mounts and shock absorber mounts are offset forward to be on the original axle axis.

    摘要: Disclosed is a chassis component (1, 38) having a measuring device (9) for determining a relative position of two chassis components connected movably with one another. For example, a first chassis component is a joint (2) with at least one rotation axis (8) and a second chassis component is a structural component (3), the structural component (3) being mounted by means of the joint (2) so that it can pivot around the rotation axis (8) of the joint (2). The measuring device (9) has a signal emitter (13) and a sensor device (10, 28) with a signal receiver (21), where the sensor device (10, 28) is arranged on the structural component (3) and the signal emitter (13) is arranged on the joint (2). To improve an arrangement of the sensor device (10, 28) on the structural component (3), the sensor device (10, 28) extends through a through-opening (11).

    摘要: A vehicle strut assembly includes at least a strut member, a bearing assembly, a mounting bracket and a noise isolating member. The bearing assembly encircles an upper end portion of the strut member. The mounting bracket is configured to receive the bearing assembly with mounting bracket encircling the upper end portion of the strut member and further configured to attach to a portion of a vehicle body assembly of a vehicle. The noise isolating member is installed below the mounting bracket and along a surface of the bearing assembly reducing noises transmitted from the vehicle strut assembly to the portion of the vehicle body assembly.

    摘要: A multi-leg control arm for a wheel suspension in a vehicle, includes first and second control arm legs coupling the multi-leg control arm to an axle carrier, and third and fourth control arm legs coupling the multi-leg control arm to a wheel carrier. The first and/or third control arm leg comprises a first elongated hole, and the second and/or fourth control arm leg comprises a second elongated hole. The first and second elongated holes are aligned with one another and define a movement path of the multi-leg control arm with respect to the axle carrier or the wheel carrier. At least one fastening element penetrates the first and second elongated holes and is adapted to fix the multi-leg control arm with respect to the axle carrier or the wheel carrier in a movement position on the movement path to set a control arm camber or a control arm track.

    摘要: The suspension system includes a stabilizer bar which has an opening. The suspension system also includes a linkage, which includes a rod-shaped link and a pair of bushings that are made of a compressible material. The link presents male threads which extend to an end face and a stop out which is spaced from the end face, and the link extends through the opening of the stabilizer bar. One of the bushings is disposed on the rod-shaped link between the stop out and the opening of the stabilizer bar, and the other bushing is disposed on the link between the opening of the stabilizer bar and the locking nut. A locking nut is threadedly engaged with the link such that the end face of the link contacts a closed end of the locking nut. The bushings are partially compressed against the stabilizer bar.

    摘要: The invention relates to a chassis component having a base face which extends in a base face plane and an aperture for the introduction of a fixing means and two retention elements which are arranged at opposite sides of the aperture for retaining an eccentric element, wherein the retention elements are formed integrally and in a materially engaging manner from the base face of the chassis component, wherein the retention elements are displaced out of the base face by mechanical processing. The chassis component affords a simple ability to be produced and an increased service life during operation.
