ABSTRACT:
A MacPherson strut tower made in one piece for a motor vehicle, especially an automobile, is permanently connected with at least one adjoining side member of the body structure. The MacPherson strut tower, formed by a hollow body produced by the internal high-pressure shaping method, results in a significant increase in torsional stiffness of the body structure since the two side members and the MacPherson strut tower are assembled to form a three-dimensional supporting structure with continuous closed hollow member sections.
