Abstract
A method for assembling a motor vehicle axle including suspension arms and a cross-member mounted between the arms. The method applys an adhesive element on at least one portion of the cross-member, mounts the portion inside a bore of one of the suspension arms to as to leave a clearance between the suspension arm and the adhesive element, and radially deforms one of the assembling elements of the cross-member and the suspension arm to obtain a contact between the adhesive element and the bore of the suspension arm.
