Connecting rod for a multiple connecting rod axle of a motor vehicle

A connecting rod for a multiple connecting rod axle of a motor vehicle comprising:

• a substantially Y-shaped basic framework comprising a first arm, a second arm, and a third arm;
• a dish-shaped seat for a spring is disposed at least partly between the first arm and the third arm;
• and a rib-shaped reinforcing element;
• wherein the first arm comprises a first free end region having a first seat for linking the framework to an auxiliary frame or a vehicle body;
• wherein the second arm comprises a second free end region having a second seat for linking the framework to the auxiliary frame or the vehicle body;
• wherein a third arm comprises a third free end region having a third seat for linking the framework to a wheel carrier;
• wherein the framework is manufactured in one piece with the first, second, and third seats;
• wherein, in an installed condition of the connecting rod, the first arm is positioned in a travel direction forward of the second arm;
• wherein the dish-shaped seat has a rim joined at least partly via at least one connecting region to at least one of the arms between which the dish-shaped seat is disposed;
• wherein the rib-shaped reinforcing element, in the installed condition of the connecting rod, starting substantially from the first seat or the first arm, runs along a side which is forward or the rim which is forward, in the travel direction, of the dish-shaped seat, and ends in the third free end region;
• and wherein at least one of a portion of the reinforcing element, a portion of the dish-shaped seat, and a portion of the third arm encloses at least one through-going recess.

• a substantially Y-shaped basic framework comprising a first arm, a second arm, and a third arm;
• a dish-shaped seat for a spring, the dish-shaped seat being disposed at least partly between the first arm and the third arm;
• a shock absorber fastening seat for fastening of a shock absorber;
• a stabilizer fastening seat for fastening of a stabilizer;
• and a first stiffening flat element;
• wherein the first arm comprises a first free end region having a first seat for linking the framework to an auxiliary frame or a vehicle body;
• wherein the second arm comprises a second free end region having a second seat for linking the framework to the auxiliary frame or the vehicle body;
• wherein a third arm comprises a third free end region having a third seat for linking the framework to a wheel carrier;
• wherein the framework is manufactured in one piece with the first, second, and third seats;
• wherein, in an installed condition of the connecting rod, the first arm is positioned in a travel direction forward of the second arm;
• wherein the dish-shaped seat is disposed laterally approximately at a height of a point of intersection of the first, second, and third arms;
• wherein the first stiffening flat element, in the installed condition of the connecting rod, is disposed on a side which is rearward in the travel direction, between at least two of the second seat, the stabilizer fastening seat and the shock absorber fastening seat, and is connected to the adjoining second and third arms;
• and wherein the first stiffening flat element, beginning at the second seat, ends underneath the stabilizer fastening seat for fastening of the stabilizer to the shock absorber fastening seat.
