AUXILIARY FRAME FOR SUPPORTING A FRONT SUSPENSION OF A MOTOR-VEHICLE

An auxiliary frame (1) for supporting elements of a front suspension of a motor-vehicle comprises two end supports (2) for connection thereto of suspension elements and a structure (3) which connects the end supports (2) to each other. The connecting structure (3) comprises a front beam (4) and a rear beam (5) which connect the end supports (2) to each other. The rear beam (5) has an arch-like configuration which extends substantially in a horizontal plane, with a central portion (51) arranged in a forwardly spaced position, with reference to the travel direction of the motor-vehicle, with respect to the ends (52) of the rear beam (5). The front beam (4) of the connecting structure (3) has at least for a major portion of its length a configuration which is substantially straight and perpendicular to a vertical median plane of the auxiliary frame. Furthermore, the front beam (4) and the rear beam (5) are longitudinally spaced from each other and connected to each other by at least two lateral longitudinal arms (6) spaced from each other and which have a configuration substantially straight and parallel to the vertical median plane of the auxiliary frame (1).
