Claim:
An auxiliary frame for a vehicle, comprising: two lateral auxiliary frame parts that are each embodied in a substantially V-shaped configuration having a vertex; a single central auxiliary frame part that extends perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, said central auxiliary frame part having a first end and a second end; wherein each of the two respective lateral auxiliary frame parts include a first leg that extends from a first side of the respective vertex and forms a first side of the substantially V-shaped configuration and a second leg that that extends from an opposite side of the respective vertex and forms a second side of the substantially V-shaped configuration; wherein the vertex of one of the two respective lateral auxiliary frame parts is joined to the first end of the central auxiliary frame part and the vertex of other of the two respective lateral auxiliary frame parts is joined to the second end of the central auxiliary frame part, in such an arrangement that the vertexes thereof face each other and are joined to each other via the central auxiliary frame part; wherein each of the first legs extends diagonally away from the vertex to a respective end; wherein each of the second legs extends diagonally away from the vertex to a respective end, the respective ends of each of the second legs being opposite the direction of the respective ends of each of the first legs, with respect to a longitudinal direction of the vehicle; wherein each end of the respective first and second legs comprises a fastener for fixing the auxiliary frame to a vehicle body; wherein each of the first legs include a longitudinal link attached thereto via a recess or receptacle; wherein a stabilizer bar is connected to each of the first legs via a recess or receptacle; wherein top transverse links and/or bottom transverse links are connected at the respective vertexes via respective recesses or receptacles.
