1. A method of producing a chassis component, the method comprising:
inserting a base body of the chassis component into a forming tool to form guide elements, wherein the forming tool comprises a punch, a lower die, and a fixing element, and the lower die comprises mold recesses corresponding to the guide elements, and
forming the guide elements by linearly advancing the punch, and the punch is aligned at an angle α between 30° and 60° relative to the base body, in order to obtain the chassis component, wherein the forming takes place at a pressure between 5 t and 20 t, or 7.5 t and 13 t.
