ABSTRACT:
The wheel carrier of an independent wheel suspension for steerable wheels of motor vehicles is pivotal about a steering axis which is so inclined that the steering point in a plan view on the wheel suspension is located outside of the point of contact of the wheel with the road. In order to prevent that with dynamic wheel load fluctuations about the steering axis, a moment pivoting the wheel carrier can occur which is customarily transmitted by way of the steering arm and steering tie-rod to the steering wheel and which has to be braced by muscle force, a wheel guide member is formed by two individual guide links which extend arrow-shaped in the direction toward the wheel carrier and are cardanically supported. At least one obliquely positioned support member is arranged between one of these individual guide links and the vehicle body, which in case of wheel load fluctuations transmits onto the individual guide link support forces in which a support force component is effective, by means of which a moment is produced that is essentially equally large and directed opposite to the moment about the steering axis resulting at the wheel carrier from the wheel load fluctuation.
