20130285344	Vehicle Suspension Transverse Link - A vehicle suspension transverse link, including a bearing journal assembly having a pin-shaped portion and an anchor portion that attaches to a connecting point on the link. The anchor portion has a curved configuration.	10-31-2013
20140151974	Vehicle Suspension Transverse Link - A vehicle suspension transverse link, including a bearing journal assembly having a pin-shaped portion and an anchor portion that attaches to a connecting point on the link. The anchor portion has an unrounded configuration.	06-05-2014
20160053841	BUSHING AND OSCILLATION-DAMPING CONNECTION ARRANGEMENT - A bushing for the oscillation-damping connection of two components such as a vehicle frame or vehicle structure and a steering gear is disclosed. The bushing includes an inner bearing element having first and second ends. An opening extends through the first end of the inner bearing element in a longitudinal direction. The inner bearing element includes a support face on the first end. A resilient member at least partially surrounds the inner bearing member. At least a portion of the resilient member extends below the support face in the longitudinal direction. The bushing also may include an outer bearing element, such that the resilient member is positioned between the inner and outer bearing elements.	02-25-2016
20160121677	Suspension Member for a Motor Vehicle and Method of Forming the Same - A suspension member for a motor vehicle including a control arm or transverse link having a ball joint seat for receiving a press-fit ball joint. The ball joint seat including a reinforcement section formed from the material of the suspension member in a region thereof provided for friction or press-fit contact with the ball joint. A method for producing the control arm or transverse link includes increasing the material thickness of the reinforcement section by deformation.	05-05-2016
20160121678	Suspension Member for a Motor Vehicle and Method of Making Same - A control arm or transverse link having a ball joint seat for receiving a press-fit ball joint. The material of a portion of the ball joint seat in a region provided for press-fit contact with the ball joint having a reduced material thickness. A method for producing the control arm or transverse link includes reducing a wall thickness of the ball joint seat by deformation or material severing.	05-05-2016
20160121679	SUSPENSION MEMBER FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME - A suspension member having an arm member and a ball joint section. The ball joint section having an opening receiving a press fit ball joint. The material of the ball joint section having a smaller material thickness than the material of the arm member. The ball joint section connected to the arm member.	05-05-2016

20140196270	METHOD FOR PRODUCING A TRANSVERSE MEMBER - The disclosure relates to a method for producing a transverse member having a securable ball joint receiving member from a transverse member having an integral ball joint receiving member. The transverse member is the kind used for connecting a vehicle wheel to a vehicle structure. The method comprises providing a transverse member having an integral ball joint receiving member, separating the integral ball joint receiving member from the transverse member, and connecting a securable ball joint receiving member to the transverse member to replace the removed integral ball joint receiving member. This method may be performed to correct the position and orientation of a ball joint as provided by the integral ball joint receiving member or to further utilize a production tool that already produces a transverse member with an integral ball joint receiving member.	07-17-2014
20140353937	MULTILINK REAR AXLE FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE - A multilink rear axle comprises a wheel carrier, a leaf spring, a first lower control arm, an upper control arm, and at least one member. The wheel carrier can rotatably support a wheel of the vehicle. The leaf spring can extend in a width direction of the vehicle that is transverse to a longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The first lower control arm can extend in the width direction and is pivotably coupled to the wheel carrier at a rear half thereof. The upper control arm can extend in the width direction and can be pivotably coupled to the wheel carrier at an attachment point that is offset from the rotation axis of the supported wheel in the longitudinal direction by less than or equal to 100 mm. The at least one member can pivotably couple the leaf spring to the upper control arm.	12-04-2014
