Abstract

A transverse control arm (1) of an axle arrangement for a vehicle having two transverse control arm struts (2, 3) and at least three kinematics points (4, 5, 6). Each of the two transverse control arm struts (2, 3) has a carrier hub end (9) and a carriage end (10). At least one of the two transverse control arm struts (2, 3) has a curvature (7) in a spatial direction, and this spatial direction being along a vertical axis that extends generally perpendicular relative to the plane defined by the at least three kinematic points (4, 5, 6).
