ABSTRACT:
A wheel suspension system for a motor vehicle is described for influencing wheel movement during suspension operations by a positively guided wheel suspension link which can be swivelled on the vehicle body about an axis formed by link bearings and, by way of bearings, is supported on the wheel carrier in an articulated manner. The wheel suspension link is linked to the wheel carrier by bridge elements forming coupling squares which are set at an angle with respect to one another with respect to a perpendicular wheel center longitudinal plane. Longitudinal planes extending through the bridge elements intersect with one another approximately in the perpendicular longitudinal center plane and approximately at the level of the wheel contact surface. Because of the linkage of the wheel suspension link on the wheel carrier by the bridge elements forming coupling squares, during suspension movements of the wheel, essentially only a track change of the wheel can take place. A camber change as well as a bump toe-in or a bump toe-out is largely excluded or is negligible.
