The frame The frame of the motorcar supports all the driving units such as engine transmission and rear axle; besides, it is meant for the attachment of the spring system, front axle and steering system. In assembled condition, all these components are called the «chassis». The body is placed on the frame and tightly bolted. The most simple type of motorcar frame has two side members made of cold-rolled channel-section steel. They are connected by a number of cross members which support the radiator and the engine.
The most important requirement of the frame is that it shall be stiff and strong enough to resist the twisting and bending forces to which it is subjected, particularity when the vehicle is traveling over rough roads. Since the introduction of the independent wheel suspension by transverse springs etc, the shapes of the frames have changed considerably.
For some modern passenger cars and buses, the frameless construction, the so-called «chassis-less body» is now used. In this case, the body is designed so stiff that it replaces the frame. All the units, such as engine, trans-mission, axle casing, springs and steering, otherwise arranged on the frame, are attached to the body. Therefore, only a limousine or bus body can be used for a chassis-less construction since only these bodies may be built sufficiently resistant to torsion due to their particular type of construction.
