ABSTRACT:
A front axle of a motor vehicle has steerable wheels and is equipped with a torsion-bar stabilizer to improve the returnability of the steering without a large amount of additional technical expenditure. Connecting arms connect the wheel carriers to the offset ends of the torsion-bar stabilizer with the joint of the connecting arms which is on the wheel-carrier side articulated in the respective steering axis on the wheel carrier. During movement of the wheel carriers about the steering axis, the connecting arms can be swivelled via the wheel carriers, in the same direction as the wheel carriers and counter to a flexible restoring support situated in the connection of the torsion-bar stabilizer to the respective connecting arm. The restoring support between connecting arms and torsion-bar end pieces provided by a rubber torsion bearing produces a restoring torque which is proportional to the steering angle and improves the returnability of the steering.
