ABSTRACT:
An individual wheel suspension for a non-steered wheel of a motor vehicle such as an automobile exhibiting a change in camber of the wheel during spring deflection comprises a trailing arm which is connected to the support for the wheel and articulated to the vehicle body by means of a lengthwise arm disposed in a lengthwise direction of the vehicle and in a direction running transversely to the vehicle by means of two wishbones located one above the other. The wishbones form auxiliary tie rods in a transverse plane running vertically through the center of the wheel, the extensions of the tie rods, running toward the center of the vehicle, intersecting at a transverse pole located at a distance from the wheel center plane. The individual wheel suspension is characterized in that the auxiliary tie rods have articulations to the support for the wheels and are provided in an additional distance determined relative to the transverse pole in the vicinity of the wheel center plane, in that the auxiliary tie rod of the lower wishbone is made at least approximately half as long as the additional distance and the upper wishbone forms an auxiliary tie rod whose length is less than or equal to that of the lower auxiliary tie rod, and in that the lengthwise arm is arranged pointing forward in the direction of travel of the vehicle with the articulation of the lengthwise arm to the vehicle body being located above the axle and in the vicinity of the wheel center plane.
