Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a subframe for a motor vehicle, in particular a front axle subframe, including a first shell element and a second shell element which is rigidly connected to the first shell element and defines a cavity therewith, and at least one bodywork connection sleeve for inserting a screw therethrough. The bodywork connection sleeve is attached at one of its ends to a through-hole in the first shell element and extends within the cavity towards a through-hole in the second shell element. So that such a subframe can be easily mounted and can provide a high level of security against slipping relative to the bodywork, the invention provides that an annular disc is allocated to the attached end of the bodywork connection sleeve, which disc projects radially relative to the outer surface of the sleeve, is arranged on the outside of the first shell element and is integrally bonded thereto, and that a toothed disc produced separately from the bodywork connection sleeve is arranged on the outside on the through-hole in the second shell element, which the other end of the bodywork connection sleeve faces, which toothed disc has an external diameter which is greater than the internal diameter of the through-hole in the second shell element, and is integrally bonded to the second shell element.
