ABSTRACT:
A process of hydroforming tubular suspension and frame components of a vehicle which results in substantial weight reductions while maintaining strength and integrity of the assembly. The process forms a hydroformed tubular trailing arm having a curved configuration to comply with the design requirements of the suspension. The trailing arm has a spring seat base hydroformed therein, an extruded shock mount and bushing mount formed as integral components. A mounting plate is attached to the trailing arm for attaching the vehicle wheel.
