ABSTRACT:
An independent wheel suspension for front wheels of a motor vehicle, having a wheel carrier which can be swivelled for steering purposes. A lower end of the wheel carrier is disposed on a lower control arm. An upper area of the wheel carrier is supported, on the one hand, by way of a coupling rod, on this lower control arm and, on the other hand, by way of an upper control arm, on the vehicle body. Instead of the semi-trailing arm known from the prior art, the independent wheel suspension has two separate individual control arms. At least in the projection onto the road (i.e., a horizontal plane), the lines of influence of these two control arms form a triangle corresponding to a transverse link or semi-trailing arm. The theoretical steering axis is either intersected or crossed by the lines of influence. The two control arms end spatially in front of the theoretical steering axis in two separate adjacent hinge points on the wheel carrier. The independent wheel suspension minimizes the number of vehicle-body-side linking points while leaving sufficient space for a large-dimensioned wheel-side braking system.
