AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing motor vehicle components, particularly those with compact designs, suffer from poor acoustic properties due to the inherent soft mounting of steering gear and drive shaft components, which impair Noise, Vibration, Harshness (NVH) characteristics.

Method used

The design incorporates retaining projections and brackets extending from the axle carrier to attach the steering gear, along with vibration-damping component mounts and outriggers to enhance stiffness and improve acoustic performance.

Benefits of technology

The enhanced design significantly improves the acoustic behavior of the vehicle component by stiffening the structure, thereby reducing noise and vibration, resulting in better NVH characteristics.

Abstract

The invention relates to a motor vehicle component (1) for a motor vehicle (2), comprising an axle carrier (6) and a steering gear (8) attached to the axle carrier (6) at several axle carrier mounting points (9, 10) spaced apart from one another in the direction of a transverse axis. It is provided that retaining projections (14) extend from a base body (15) of the axle carrier (6) in the direction of a longitudinal axis perpendicular to the transverse axis next to the steering gear (8). These retaining projections are designed and configured for attaching at least one component bearing (13) to the axle carrier (6), and several extension arms (16) extend from the steering gear (8) and are attached to the retaining projections (16) at extension mounting points (17). The invention further relates to a motor vehicle (2) with a motor vehicle component (1).
