  • Publication number: 20060191754
    Abstract: An air guide arrangement for a motor vehicle axle has a baffle element which is vertically mounted to a steering knuckle arm and has two air baffle plates positioned at an angle relative to one another. To prevent swiveling vehicle components from interferingly knocking against the baffle element, the baffle element has elastic contact regions in the displacement ranges of the vehicle components. The baffle element is furthermore provided with two air guide channels, which positively guide inflowing air to the brakes in a specific and focused manner.
