ABSTRACT:
Wheel suspension for road vehicles, in particular non-power-driven semi-rigid axles for private cars and light commercial vehicles having a crossmember defining an axle, axle carrier or swinging axle link and trailing arms attached at both ends of the crossmember, whereby the trailing arm features an arrangement for attachment to the vehicle and for mounting the wheel. The trailing arms are extruded single or multi-chamber hollow sections, made for example of aluminum or one of its alloys. The trailing arms feature a projection facing the middle of the vehicle. The projections on the trailing arm form a channel-shaped section along with the wall strip of the trailing arm. Attachment structure for attaching the elements for wheel suspension and for the crossmember of the axle or axle carrier or swinging axle link may be mounted on this channel-shaped section.
