ABSTRACT:
A wheel suspension for a motor vehicle having a vehicle chassis includes a wheel carrier having an axle for the support of a wheel for rotation independently of the wheel carrier, and front and rear arms for supporting the wheel carrier on the vehicle chassis and extending in spaced relation to each other with the space therebetween gradually increasing as they extend outwardly from the wheel carrier towards the vehicle chassis in a direction generally transversely of the vehicle chassis. The wheel suspension further includes a connecting member for elastically connecting the wheel carrier to the vehicle chassis for displacement in a direction generally perpendicular to the widthwise direction of the vehicle chassis, and a shock absorber for absorbing vibrations of the wheel carrier. The front and rear arms are so positioned relative to the wheel carrier and the vehicle chassis that the wheel carrier can be moved such that the toe-in of the wheel supported thereby is increased.
