ABSTRACT:
An independent rear wheel suspension for passenger motor vehicles, with a wheel carrier being held through upper and lower wishbones and guided by way of a track rod, offset with respect to an axis of rotation determined by points of articulation of the upper and lower wishbones on the wheel carrier. The track rod engages the wheel carrier and extends in a transverse direction of a vehicle. Respective wheel carriers are pivotable under an influence of a longitudinal force acting on the respective wheels about an instantaneous center of rotation, present in a side view of the wheel suspension, due to the fact that elastic resilience is provided in at least one of the connections to the vehicle body formed by the wishbones. Positions of the track rod and the instantaneous center of rotation of the wheel carrier are coordinated with one another in such a manner that, during a braking of the vehicle the wheel carrier is pivoted in a toe-in direction and/or, during a starting of the vehicle, the wheel carrier is pivoted in a toe-out direction.
