ABSTRACT:
A support device connects a wheel to suspension elements of a vehicle, the wheel having a radius R′. The support device includes rods articulated at their lower ends to the suspension elements and at their upper ends to the wheel carrier so as to confer on the wheel a degree of camber freedom relative to the suspension elements. The camber movement takes place around an instantaneous center of rotation. The device is also configured in such manner that Y and Z are respectively the abscissa and ordinate of the instantaneous position of the instantaneous center of rotation in the camber plane, wherein such position, during a camber deflection from 0° to 1°, satisfies the following conditions:in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?Y≦0.125*Rin-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?Z≦−0.0625*Rin-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?Z≦0.66225*Y+0.02028*R.in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?
