ABSTRACT:
In a wheel suspension for steered wheels of motor vehicles, having a pivoting wheel carrier, which has a lower suspension elements, two suspension arms which extend to converge toward the wheel carrier the suspension spring of the motor vehicle is supported at one of the suspension arms in such a way that a transverse component of force effects a steering return at this arm. In this connection, the steering geometry is designed in such a way that multiplied by the lever arm between the point of articulation of the suspension arm at the wheel carrier and the idealized steering axis formed by the extension of the suspension arms this transverse component of force assumes a smaller value for a steering angle on the inside of the bend than for a steering angle on the outside of the bend.
