A wheel suspension having at least one chassis suspension link, a first track rod and a second track rod. A deflecting lever connects the first track rod and the second track rod to one another and the deflecting lever is mounted on the at least one chassis suspension link. To produce a simple structure of the bearing system, the bearing system is in the form of a slide bearing which is accommodated by a bearing section of the at least one chassis suspension link, in which a fastener, that connects the deflecting lever and the at least one chassis suspension link, is fitted.

Wheel suspension

A transverse control arm () of an axle arrangement for a vehicle having two transverse control arm struts () and at least three kinematics points (). Each of the two transverse control arm struts () has a carrier hub end () and a carriage end (). At least one of the two transverse control arm struts () has a curvature () in a spatial direction, and this spatial direction being along a vertical axis that extends generally perpendicular relative to the plane defined by the at least three kinematic points ().

Transverse control arm

A wheel suspension system () with at least one wheel support (), first and second coupling rods () and at least one track rod (). The first and second coupling rods () are connected to one another in an articulated manner. The second coupling rod () and the wheel support () are connected to one another in an articulated manner. The track rod () is designed to apply a steering torque to the first coupling rod (). The steering torque is transmitted from the first coupling rod (), via the second coupling rod (), to the wheel support (). The wheel suspension system has at least one suspension link () which is mounted, in an articulated manner, on a vehicle body or chassis and is articulated to the wheel support (). The suspension link () and the first coupling rod () are articulated to one another.

Independent suspension system with a high steering angle

A wheel suspension assembly () for a vehicle, having a spring damper (), a first transverse link (), which has a first transverse link strut () and a second transverse link strut (), a second transverse link (), a first tie rod (), a second tie rod (), a reversing lever (), a hub carrier (), a steering gear () and a pendulum support (). Each transverse link () has an end (), on the hub carrier side, and two ends (), on the chassis side. The steering gear () is arranged in a plane with the first transverse link () and in a section between an end () of the first transverse link strut () of the first transverse link (), on the chassis side, and an end () of the second transverse link strut () of the first transverse link (), on the chassis side.
