Abstract: A module carrier assembly for positioning between the A-pillars of a motor vehicle body comprising a transverse carrier configured as a hollow body profile and at least one steering column holder connected to the transverse carrier and supported at the outer side of the transverse carrier in the x-direction. The at least one steering column holder is configured as an angle piece and is supported by a support surface provided by a first limb at a first outer wall of the transverse carrier. The steering column holder has a further limb extending below the transverse carrier. The steering column holder carries a support projection which extends through the outer wall of the transverse carrier adjoining the support surface of the steering column holder and up to at least the opposite wall of the transverse carrier. The support projection is connected in a vibration-coupled manner to this opposite wall.

Abstract: A subframe for a motor vehicle axle optimized for stiffness and weight is provided. Such a subframe may comprise a base member, a cross member, and a stiffening element. The base member may have an upper shell, a lower shell connected to the upper shell, and a connecting point formed on one of the shells for a pendulum bearing of a pendulum bar. The cross member may extend in a transverse direction, be attached to the base member, and have mounts for longitudinal members of the motor vehicle. The stiffening element may be connected to at least one shell in a region of the connecting point. Also described is a production method for a subframe.

Abstract: The Invention relates to a subprime (1) for a motor vehicle axle. According to the invention, in order to provide a subframe in which both stiffness and weight are optimised, the subframe comprises: a base member (2) having an upper shell (3), a lower shell (4), which is connected lathe upper shell (3), and a connection point (5) formed on one of the shells (3, 4) for a pendulum bearing of a pendulum bar, a cross-member (10), which extends in a transverse direction and which is joined to the base member (2) and connected to the base member, said cross-member having mounts (14) for longitudinal members of the motor vehicle; and a stiffening element (30), which is connected to at least one shell (3, 4) in the region or the connection point. The invention further relates to a production method for a subframe.
