Philosophy

This is the story bout No 2 & 7 parts, which are connected between the vehicle body frame and the door. The part catalog is for colkswagen up!.
The actual picture is shown in th following.
The apperance of up!(latest)

The parts on the front door

In addition the parts on the rear door


The parts are forged (or machined).

On the other hand, the parts for the rear lid are pressed, bent the plate material)



What is about the other vehicles?
The parts for Golf7.5 are the same as up! (no pic).

Sharn 7N2






Not only those for the doors but those for the lid are thick parts. Touran is the same.

A friend of mine told some Lexus vehicles only as for Toyota. Even Crown uses the pressed parts.

This might be the philosophy of European vehicle company, not focused on only the cost reduction. (safety, rigidity, for driving autobahn)
