Abstract: A steering knuckle of aluminum or an aluminum alloy for a wheel suspension on a front axle of a motor vehicle, designed as a one-piece forging which has a wheel-bearing socket (2), that is wider than it is thick, with a through hole (3) designed to accept a screw-in bearing flange. The steering knuckle has a radius arm connection bracket (20) and a carrier arm connection bracket (21), offset with respect to each other, formed on an end surface of the wheel-bearing socket (2). A web-shaped brake caliper connecting section (25) is formed on a first side of the wheel-bearing socket (2). A neck (7), which is designed as a solid section with an arc-shaped contour in the longitudinal direction, extends from the wheel-bearing socket (2). A free end surface (11) of the neck is provided with connection structures (13, 13') for transverse links, and a trackrod arm (15) projecting to the first side.

Abstract: An apparatus for hydraulically shaping hollow bodies of metal using a shaping tool arranged in a press frame includes a shaping tool arranged in a press frame, wherein the shaping tool has a lower part mounted so as to be displaceable vertically guided between an open position and a closed position and a movably supported upper part, wherein the lower part can be locked in the closed position by a locking member and the upper part can be pressed hydraulically against the lower part.
