ABSTRACT:
An independent wheel suspension for a vehicle wheel comprises a wheel carrier having a steering linkage lever formed on an upper part thereof, a lower control arm connected to the carrier, an upper control arm connected to the carrier and pivoted in a bearing, and a steering tie rod connected to the steering linkage lever and to a steering mechanism. The steering linkage lever extends outwardly over the apex of the wheel to a point of connection with the steering tie rod. The tie rod lies in a horizontal plane and is substantially parallel to a longitudinal vertical center plane of the vehicle. The upper control arm extends longitudinally in side-by-side relation to the steering tie rod, and is pivoted about an axis which extends obliquely from a point of intersection with a central transverse wheel plane outwardly and downwardly (moving from the plane toward the bearing member). Provision is made for interconnecting two or more wheels provided with essentially identical suspensions in a serial fashion.
