A traditional twist beam axle found in a vehicle includes a twist beam with a separate torsion beam or a hollow tube formed into an inverted U shape that acts as both the twist beam and the torsion beam. Both solutions are expensive to manufacture A twist beam axle (14) is provided wherein the torsion member (42) is rigidly secured to the twist beam (40) The twist beam (40) has a U- shaped cross-sectional configuration having a bight portion (44) with first (50) and second (52) projections extending therefrom Embodiments include the cross- sectional configuration having an open cavity and the bight portion (44) having an indentation into the open cavity and forming a depression that is covered by the torsion member (42) A method of forming the disclosed twist beam axle (14) is also provided, the method including the step of rigidly securing the torsion member (42) to the bight portion (44) of the twist beam (40)

L~invention a pour objet un essieu à poutre torsadée comprenant une barre de torsion intégrale. L~essieu à poutre torsadée qu~on trouve traditionnellement dans les véhicules comprend une poutre torsadée à longeron de torsion séparé ou un tube creux en forme de U inversé tenant lieu à la fois de poutre torsadée et de longeron de torsion. Les deux solutions sont onéreuses à construire. L~invention propose un essieu à poutre torsadée (14) dont l~élément de torsion (42) est fixé de manière rigide à la poutre torsadée (40). La poutre torsadée (40) présente une configuration transversale en forme de U à portion courbe (44) à partir de laquelle s~étendent une première (50) et une seconde (52) projections. Dans des modes de réalisation, la configuration transversale présente une cavité ouverte tandis que la portion courbe (44) présente une indentation dans la cavité ouverte et forme une dépression couverte par l~élément de torsion (42). L~invention concerne également un procédé de montage de l~essieu à poutre torsadée (14décrit comprenant une étape au cours de laquelle l~élément de torsion (42) est fixé de manière rigide à la portion courbe (44) de la poutre torsadée (40)
