Abstract
The invention relates to a subframe for a motor vehicle, comprising two front node elements (1) for connecting to a vehicle body, which node elements are spaced from each other in a vehicle transverse direction (y) and are connected to each other by means of a front subframe cross member (3), and comprising at least one functional part (28), in particular a rotary actuator, which extends adjacently to the subframe cross member (3) in a vehicle transverse direction (y), by means of which functional part a torsion can be applied to torsion springs that act on the vehicle wheel suspension. According to the invention, the subframe cross member (3) has an opening, which provides an additional installation space, in which the functional part (28) at least partially protrudes.
Claims14
A subframe for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- two front node elements arranged in a vehicle transverse direction in spaced-apart relation for connection to a vehicle body;
- a front subframe cross member configured to connect the two front node elements;
- at least one functional part configured as a rotary actuator extending in the vehicle transverse direction adjacent to the subframe cross member and having torsion spring bars which act on a vehicle wheel suspension and are subjectable to a torsion;
- said subframe cross member having an opening which provides installation space such that the functional part protrudes at least in part without contact to thereby define a clearance between the functional part and the opening of the subframe cross member;
- and
- said torsion spring bars of the functional part configured as a rotary actuator being arranged in spaced-apart relation in a vehicle longitudinal direction and overlaps with the subframe cross member.
