ABSTRACT:
An independent wheel suspension for non-steered wheels of motor vehicles, in which a wheel support rigidly connected to a shock absorber is connected to the body or chassis by a transverse control arm and a longitudinal strut. The wheel support is connected to the outer bifurcated end of the transverse control arm by a pin which extends generally in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and is mounted in resilient bushings. The wheel support is also pivotably connected to the trailing end of the longitudinal arm by resilient bushings. To compensate for changes in toe angle as a result of compression and rebound movement, the resilient bushings at opposite ends of the pin connecting the transverse control arm to the wheel support are provided with non-uniform outer sleeves and non-uniform inner sleeves arranged in a specific relationship with the front bushing mounted upside down relative to the rear bushing.
