In a method of producing a transverse link for arrangement on a motor vehicle axle, a semifinished product is produced from an extrusion profile of light metal with at least three hollow chambers in side-by-side relationship. A top side and a bottom side of a middle one of the chambers is trimmed at ends thereof so that outer ones of the chambers form bearing arms which project beyond a base body. The middle chamber is formed with flanges which are bent and coupled with the base body. The bearing arms are bent and mounts for attachment are formed.

1. A method of producing a transverse link for arrangement on a motor vehicle axle, comprising: producing a semifinished product from an extrusion profile of light metal with at least three hollow chambers in side-by-side relationship;trimming a top side and a bottom side of a middle one of the chambers at ends thereof so that outer ones of the chambers form bearing arms which project beyond a base body, with the middle chamber having, two vertical webs extending between the top and bottom sides, and two bent flanges provided at an end and at an opposite end of the middle hollow chamber, respectively, and coupled with the base body;bending the bearing arms; andforming mounts for attachment. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the flanges are formed on at least one member selected from the group consisting of the top side and the bottom side of the middle hollow chamber, and bent toward the other member. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the flanges are coupled with the vertical webs which extend from the top side of the middle hollow chamber to the bottom side of the middle hollow chamber. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the flanges are coupled with a member selected from the group consisting of the top side of the middle hollow chamber and the bottom side of the middle hollow chamber. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein the flanges are coupled with the member by thermal joining. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising shaping at least one member selected from the group consisting of the middle chamber and the base body. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the bearing arms are bent outwards in relation to the base body. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising configuring the bearing arms. 9. A transverse link for arrangement to a motor vehicle axle, said transverse link being formed from a single-piece light metal member comprising: a base body having plural hollow chambers and defining a middle one of the hollow chambers having a top side, a bottom side, two vertical webs extending between the top and bottom sides, and two bent flanges provided at an end and at an opposite end of the middle hollow chamber, respectively, with the middle hollow chamber having a closed configuration; andbearing arms extending from the base body. 10. The transverse link of claim 9, wherein the base body has a dent or a bulge in at least one member selected from the group consisting of a base body top side and a base body bottom side. 11. The transverse link of claim 9, wherein the base body has at least one outer side formed with a depression. 12. The transverse link of claim 9, wherein at least one member selected from the group consisting of the middle chamber top side and the middle chamber bottom side is disposed in offset arrangement to at least a top side and/or a bottom side of an outer one of the hollow chambers. 13. The transverse link of claim 9, wherein an outer one of the hollow chambers has an outer side which in cross section has a rounded configuration. 14. The transverse link of claim 9, wherein a transition zone from the base body to the bearing arms is formed with a relieving profile. 15. The transverse link of claim 9, wherein the flanges are formed on at least one member selected from the group consisting of the top side and the bottom side of the middle hollow chamber and bent toward the other member.
