Wheel carrier apparatus for a motor vehicle including a wheel hub to which a vehicle wheel can be fastened, and an articulation apparatus for torque transmission having an articulation housing and an articulation drive element operatively connected to the articulation housing. The articulation housing is arranged coaxially to the wheel hub and is connected to the wheel hub in a rotationally fixed manner. The wheel carrier apparatus further includes a wheel carrier on which the wheel hub and the articulation housing are borne via a wheel bearing in a rotationally fixed manner. The wheel bearing includes an outer bearing ring fastened to the wheel carrier, an inner bearing ring divided in the axial direction, and multiple rolling bodies arranged radially between the inner bearing ring and the outer bearing ring. The divided inner bearing ring includes a first inner bearing ring element and a second inner bearing ring element.

Multi-link rear wheel axle for a vehicle connects a wheel support () to a vehicle body () with link arms in upper and lower link planes (). The upper link plane () has a link arm () configured as a track rod and front and rear transverse link arms () with articulation points () for the wheel support () and the vehicle body (). A longitudinal link arm () connects the rear transverse link () via an articulation point () near the wheel support () to the front transverse link () via an articulation point () near the vehicle body. Front and rear transverse link arms () in the lower link plane () have articulation points () for the wheel support () and the vehicle body () and form a virtual pole () outside the lower link plane () and behind the axle.

A motor vehicle has a vehicle body and a chassis that has at least one wheel suspension device for two opposing wheel. An adjusting device is assigned to each of the wheels. The adjusting devices are coupled to one another by a stabilizer. At least two stabilizer bearings are provided for rotatable support of the stabilizer, and at least one coupling device is provided on the vehicle body for variable torque support of the stabilizer. Accordingly, a reliable level lifting function is provided, based on a sturdy configuration that is both space-saving and weight-saving. The coupling device for torque support of the stabilizer on the vehicle body may have a switchable blocking device and/or at least one spring mechanism.

A holding device for a wheel suspension stabilizer bar has a coupling element connected to a suspension fork of a suspension strut and a bracket of the suspension strut. The attachment is effected over a relatively large base to achieve a stable connection or link of the stabilizer bar to the suspension strut or suspension fork.

Holder for stabilizer of a wheel suspension

A blocking device for blocking a suspension strut of a motor vehicle for transportation of the motor vehicle. The suspension strut has a damper device and a helical spring. The helical spring is arranged between two spring plates and embraces at least one axial section of the damper device. The blocking device has a spacer body which is of substantially C-shaped design and can be fitted between the two spring plates to the damper device in a manner embracing an axial section on the latter.

A bearing for a shock absorber element of a motor vehicle via an elastomer element on a vehicle body is provided, whereby the bearing consists of a cover and a bearing plate to be mounted on the vehicle. The elastomer element is accommodated in a recess in the bearing plate. To create a bearing for a shock absorber element of a motor vehicle that is simple to manufacture and install, the elastomer element is arranged in a housing configured as a bearing plate and sealed by a cover. The cover is configured so that, in the installed state of the bearing plate, it is supported on the vehicle body. In the uninstalled state, however, the cover sits loosely on the bearing plate and the elastomer element, so that the elastomer element is essentially not under any prestress.

A locking system for an adjustable steering column has an adjusting device for adjusting the steering column in the vertical direction, and a locking device for the form-fitting locking of the steering column in the vertical direction, particularly for motor vehicles. In order to provide an adjustable steering column which is improved with respect to the required installation space, it is suggested that the adjusting device comprises a vehicle-body-fixed swivel bearing for the steering column and a control arm swivellably held at a distance thereto on the vehicle body. In this case, the control arm is disposed on the steering column in a sliding seat.
