ABSTRACT:
In the case of previously known double-wishbone axles, it is difficult to achieve a sufficient longitudinal springiness required for the rolling comfort because, as a result of the longitudinal force occurring during the braking operation, the wheel carrier is "wound up", so that, in lateral view, a strong twisting occurs of the steering axis. Also, no optimization has been possible of the wheel suspension kinematics as well as of the steering geometry. The new wheel suspension system has the purpose of eliminating these disadvantages. For this purpose, in the case of a double-wishbone axle, a shock absorber tube is pivotably connected with a lower wishbone. An upper wishbone is connected by means of an arm with the shock absorber tube which is aligned approximately in parallel with respect to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and, on the one hand, is fixedly connected with the shock absorber tube and, on the other hand, is connected by way of a pivot with the upper wishbone.
