ABSTRACT:
A wheel suspension includes a wheel carrier (2) supporting the wheel, which is rotatably connected in its lower area by way of the bearings (10, 11) with a bending- and torsion-resistant lower cross guide member (3) about the pivot axis (8). Two upper essentially transversely extending support guide members (12, 13) engage in the upper area of the wheel carrier which, like the cross guide member, are pivotally connected with their inner ends at the vehicle body. The point of intersection (P) of the axis of rotation (7) on the side of the body of the cross guide member with the extension of the pivot axis (8) lies in front of the wheel as viewed in plan view. The wheel side bearing (11) of the cross guide member is constructed elastic approximately in the plane of the cross guide member and relatively stiff perpendicularly thereto. The wheel suspension enables a good starting and brake pitching compensation whereby nonetheless a desired, respectively, freely selectable curve of the wheel steering angle (toe-in curve) over the inward and outward spring deflection of the wheel is achievable.
