Abstract: The invention concerns a method for mounting a wheel on an axle housing in the form of an axle tube (1) for vehicles, in particular commercial vehicles, whereby the wheel is fixed e.g. with wheel bolts to a wheel hub, rotating on the axle journal (2) of the axle tube (1). The axle journal (2) is clamped on to an end section (3) of the axle tube (1) as a separate component. For simplicity of manufacture and assembly combined with functional durability it is proposed that the end section (3) of the axle tube (1) is cylindrical on the inside and that the axle stub (2) fits into the end section (3) of the axle tube (1) with an externally corresponding cylindrical connecting section (5). Further, the end section (3) of the axle tube (1) is radially clamped on to the connecting section (5) of the axle stub (2) by at least one clamping piece (6) that is adjustable in an axial direction to the end (12) of the axle tube (1) by a threaded bolt (8).

Abstract: An axle unit with a vehicle axle a rigid axle body as an axle tube, with one radial arm each on both ends thereof. The radial arms are rigidly connected with the axle body, and one region of the arms forms the lower support for a spring element. The axle body and the two radial arms jointly are formed of two integral cast part halves that have been welded with one another along a partition line extending substantially in a horizontal plane.

Abstract: A suspension for a motor vehicle includes at least one suspension link extending substantially in a longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle on a side of a longitudinal center plane of the motor vehicle. The link has a front end articulated on a bearing point stationary on the chassis of the motor vehicle. Spaced from such front end, the link is connected with an axle beam. The link includes a cutout, in which parts of a clamping device of a disk brake, particularly a brake cylinder, are disposed so as to be protected.
