Abstract

A guide control rod for a wheel suspension arrangement of motor vehicles. The guide control rod includes spaced side walls extending in a longitudinal direction with guide sockets being positioned in an area of the respective ends of the guide control rods. Each side wall is formed by a single stamped or pressed plate element. The guide sockets are formed by collar portions which define mounting openings extending through the respective side walls. The collar portions have different diameters so as to enable the collar portions of the respective plate members to be pressed onto one another, thereby connecting the two plate members to each other.
