ABSTRACT:
An independent suspension for a motor vehicle includes a wheel carrier with a spindle for rotatably mounting a road wheel, a telescoping strut having a lower end rigidly attached to the wheel carrier and an upper end attached to the chassis of the motor vehicle. A control arm is interposed between the wheel carrier and the chassis, and a torsional unloading device is interposed between the control arm and the telescoping strut such that the torsional unloading device will impose a force upon the telescoping strut tending to counteract an opposing bending moment imposed upon the strut by the wheel carrier.
