Abstract
The invention relates to an axle support for a multi-track motor vehicle, having a first side member, a second side member, and at least one cross member connecting the first side member and the second side member to one another, wherein at least one control arm is articulated at bearing points of the first side member and of the second side member to connect a wheel carrier for a wheel of the motor vehicle. In doing so, a provision is that each of the bearing points is arranged in a bearing connection area of the corresponding side member, in which the side member has less stiffness perpendicular to its longitudinal extension than away from the bearing connection area.

An axle support for a multi-track motor vehicle, comprising:
- a first side member, a second side member, and at least one cross member connecting the first side member and the second side member with one another, wherein at least one control arm is articulated at a first bearing point of the first side member and a second bearing point of the second side member for connecting a wheel carrier for a wheel of the motor vehicle, wherein the first and second bearing points are each arranged in a bearing connection area of the corresponding side member, in which the first and second side members have less stiffness perpendicular to a direction of travel of the motor vehicle than a direction away from the bearing connection area toward an outside of the respective side member, wherein the bearing connection areas each form an offset area displaced toward the outside of the respective side member, wherein when a force is applied to the wheel carrier in a direction against the direction of travel of the motor vehicle, at least one of the first and second bearing points is displaced in a lateral direction away from the motor vehicle.
