Abstract

The twist beam axle (TBA) is one of the most common type of rear axles. It was developed at first for the VW Polo [1, 2] based on the rigid axle. In comparison to a rigid axle whose wheels cannot move independently due to the direct connection between the two wheel carriers by a cross member, the relative movement of the two wheels in a twist beam is possible. There, the cross member is placed towards the vehicle front direction and connect the two trailing arms in a position between the wheel center and the body mount.
