ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an independent suspension system for a vehicle rear axle, the transverse leaf springs articulatedly supporting, at the free ends, one hub carrier per vehicle side; and each transverse leaf spring being braced between its ends on the vehicle body by way of at least one articulation point. In the rear axle, the transverse leaf springs are at least transversely displaceably mounted in the body-side articulation points. In addition, they are articulatedly joined to one another in the region between the hub carriers via at least one coupling element, the pivot points having pivot axes which are aligned at least approximately parallel to the vehicle's vertical axis. At least one coupling element is mounted pivotably on the vehicle body about at least one approximately vertical axis. A vehicle axis thus is created whose transverse leaf springs are precisely guided despite being mounted in vibration-damping fashion on the vehicle body, and are very little influenced in terms of their elastic line.
