The invention concerns a method for manufacturing a motor vehicle structural component (1) from an extruded multichamber hollow profile, with the following steps:



a) provision of an extruded profile (2) with at least two precursor hollow chambers (8, 9) which are separated from one another by an inner wall (7), wherein at least one outer wall (3, 4) of at least one precursor hollow chamber (8, 9), in cross-section perpendicularly to the longitudinal extent of the extruded profile (2), has a region (16) with non-linear course,
b) forming of the extruded profile (2) in at least one of its end regions into the motor vehicle structural component (1), wherein at least the region (16) with non-linear course of the at least one outer wall (3, 4) of the at least one precursor hollow chamber (8, 9), with non-linear course in cross-section, is at least partially straightened, with a change in cross-section of the respective precursor hollow chamber (8, 9) into the cross-section of the corresponding hollow chamber (14, 15) of the motor vehicle structural component (1).
