Chassis and module

Chassis modules locate the front and rear suspension systems, steering system, rear axle and engine mounts. They are also key in achieving ride and handling performance goals, meeting alignment specifications, camber, caster, toe., and thrust angle. Austem currently supplies fully built up Chassis Modules and many of the major parts that go into these modules, such as cradles, control arms and links.

AXLE

The axle supports the mass of the vehicle, locating both the springs, and shock absorbers, basically connecting the wheels to the body structure. It is also a means of delivering both motive power and stopping power to the wheels via the wheel bearings and brakes. Axles are divided into two categories, drive axles that deliver driving force to the wheels, and dead axles that support the mass of the vehicle. Austem supplies twist beam / compound crank axles, which fall into the later category.
