ABSTRACT:
A wheel suspension arrangement is provided for the front nondriven wheel of a motor vehicle. This arrangement includes a lower guide rod linkage connecting the wheel carrier to the vehicle frame, as well as an upper guide rod linkage also guidingly connecting the wheel carrier with the vehicle frame. The upper guide rod linkage is elastically supported at respective front and rear elastic guide rod bearings carried by a longitudinally extending axle fixed to the vehicle frame. These front and gear guide rod bearings include elastic material which is either cut away internally to form kidney-shaped recesses or is reinforced such that the bearings exhibit different elasticities depending upon the relative direction of movement of the upper guide rod linkage and the frame in the vehicle horizontal transverse direction. Axial stops are provided at the axle supporting the guide rod bearings so as to permit a greater axial movability of the upper guide rod linkage in a direction opposite to the direction of vehicle driving than in the vehicle driving direction.
