Abstract: A connecting piece for the articulated connection of components disposed in the chassis of a vehicle. The connecting piece comprises a base body (1) made out of sheet metal in which at least one through bore (3) is provided, a plastic part (13) is rigidly connected to the base body (1), and at least one articulated joint (5), comprising a housing (4), rigidly connected to the base body (1). The housing (4) is inserted into the through bore (3), in an axial direction (24), and has a housing section (22) with a radial shoulder (23) disposed outside the hole (3) and embedded in the plastic part (13), by which the housing section (22), rigidly connected to the housing (4), is axially supported on the base body (1).

Abstract: A control arm (12) is provided especially for the wheel suspension of a motor vehicle. The control arm (12) includes at least two connection points (13, 14, 15) for the pivotingly movable connection of the control arm 12 to a body structure and to a wheel guide component as well as a strut arrangement, which connects the connection points. The control arm strut arrangement is composed of at least two strut parts (17, 18, 19), wherein the strut parts are designed as separate profiled parts with an essentially flat or open cross-sectional shape. This presents a modular system for the design and the manufacture of control arms of extensively any desired shape for axle systems and wheel suspensions of motor vehicles. Relatively no appreciable tool costs are incurred for generating variants of control arms or new control arm structural shapes.

Abstract: It incorporates a body (1) formed in sheet metal by stamping with reduced thickness and maximum inertia, and consists of a modular element ready for mounting which incorporates: a ball joint (2) located inside an external front housing (5) in which it is coupled by means of a lower socket (6) and a cover (7) which fit together and are welded by laser, a front silent-block (3) which reveals a cylindrical body from the surface of which some pairs of securing flaps (11) project radially which are inserted in a slot (8) defined in a concavely curved front housing (9), folded and welded by laser welding, and a rear silent-block (4) which is incorporated in a rear housing (12) by means of some press-fit bushings (15).

Abstract: The gear-change is comprised of a casing (1-2) for securing to the structure of the vehicle, and in said casing a cam (5) is located, to which twin lineal slide blocks (8) and (16) are linked, the first of these is linked to the gear-change selection cable (10) and the second to the gear selection cable (14); the slide block (8) having a side protrusion that freely moves in a slanting aperture (6) of the cam (5), so that the traverse movement of the lever (4) and corresponding tilting toward one side and another of the cam (5), brings with it the longitudinal movement of the slide block (8) and with that the traction or compression of the cable (10), whereas the forward and backward tilting movement of the lever (4), that is hinged on an axis (11) with respect to the cam (5), produces the longitudinal movement of the slide block (16) and with that the traction or compression of the cable (14).
