The invention relates to an independent wheel suspension for the rear wheels of motor vehicles, having a wheel support which is hinge-connected to at least one upper and one lower control arm, the lower control arm being connected by way of two more or less horizontal arm bearings forming pivot axes on the body of the motor vehicle and on the wheel support and a guide arm of the wheel support to another bearing, and also having a bearing spring resting on the wheel support and a more or less vertically oriented telescopic shock absorber. For the creation of a structurally and elastokinematically favorable wheel suspension it is proposed, as viewed from above, that the other guide rod is mounted more or less in the lower guide rod plane and diagonally forward from the exterior toward the interior, in such a way that the intersection of imaginary extensions of the other guide rod and the rear bearing points of the lower guide rod is positioned beyond the extended wheel center axis.
