A motor vehicle front subframe 44 comprises a pair of main longitudinal beams 45 each formed from an extrusion 12 with a flange casting 13 at the rear end and a suspension tower 47 at the other end. A pair of lower longitudinal beams 48, formed as castings...

The device has a drive force transfer path from a part of the inner shaft joint (6) on the chassis side to the wheel bearer (3) via a part of the inner shaft joint on the shaft side, a drive shaft (7) and parts of an outer shaft joint (5) on shaft and whee...

A shaft structure (20) has a longitudinally extending cavity and is configured to vibrate in response to the receipt of an input of a predetermined frequency such that at least two second bending mode anti-nodes are generated in spaced relation to one anot...

In the differential gear (6), the ring gear (3) of the bevel gear (2) and the pinion (1) meshing therewith are arranged on the side of the bevel gear carrier (4) of the bevel gear (2) that is turned away from the center of the differential gear (6) of the ...

The device has a longitudinal automatic transmission (14) with output shaft (13) facing the rear of the vehicle. The shaft is in drive connection with an input shaft (11) of a front axle drive (15), via the driven shaft (12) of a side drive (16) and a prop...

This drive shaft (1) is made in one piece with flanges (2) which may be circular or polygonal in shape as a form of Hardy-disc which serves to reduce vibration. The shaft (1) is tubular and made of plastic reinforced by glass, carbon or kevlar fibre in lay...
