ABSTRACT:
An individual wheel suspension is disclosed for a non-steered wheel of a motor vehicle such as an automobile which undergoes a change in camber by spring travel. The individual wheel suspension comprises a trailing arm which is articulated in the direction transverse to the lengthwise axis of the vehicle by at least one wishbone and connected in the lengthwise direction of the vehicle to the vehicle body via a lengthwise arm with a swivel bearing having a swivel axis which lies essentially in the direction transverse to the lengthwise axis of the vehicle, and an auxiliary device which engages the lengthwise arm at a distance from the swivel axis and by means of which the lengthwise arm is pivoted in the direction transverse the lengthwise axis of the vehicle along the swivel axis as the wheel goes up and down. The wheel suspension is characterized in that the auxiliary device engages the lengthwise arm in the vicinity of the swivel bearing-in design position of the vehicle at a vertical distance from a swivel axis whereby the auxiliary device can influence the toe-in on the wheel as it goes up and down with low construction costs and small space requirements.
