ABSTRACT:
A motor vehicle rear axle including a pair of longitudinal control arms made of cast iron or aluminum and a transverse torsion bar made of steel. Each control arm has a first end hinged to a body of the motor vehicle for up and down pivotal movement, a second end at which a wheel spindle is rigidly attached, and a socket facing the other control arm. Each socket has a diametrically opposite pair of apertures therein. The torsion bar has a pair of opposite terminal ends which are formed to match and interference fitted in respective ones of the control arm sockets. A pair of plugs in each of the pair of diametrically opposite apertures in the control arm sockets are fusion bonded to corresponding ones of the terminal ends of the torsion bar. The fusion bonded plugs define lugs in the apertures which torsionally reinforce the interference fit between the terminal ends of the torsion bar and the control arm sockets and which positively prevent dislodgment of the terminal ends from the control arm sockets.
