ABSTRACT:
An independent suspension of a steered wheel of a motor vehicle, with a wheel carrier which for purposes of guidance of the wheel during the spring- and steering-movements is connected with the vehicle body by way of two lower guide members pivotally connected to the wheel carrier one behind the other in the lower area thereof as well as by means of a spring-leg rigidly connected with the wheel carrier and articulated to the vehicle body by way of an upper joint or by way of an upper triangular guide member; to obtain a castor angle, the ideal steering axis of the wheel is slightly inclined with respect to the vertical, as viewed in side view of the vehicle, whereby this ideal steering axis is formed by the intersection of the planes defined respectively by the axes of the two lower guide members and the upper joint; the two lower joints in which the lower guide members engage at the wheel carrier are thereby arranged at different heights in such a manner that the connecting line of these two lower joints, as viewed in side view, is also inclined with respect to the vertical in the same sense as the ideal steering axis.
