A wheel suspension comprising a vehicle body, a wheel movably articulated on the vehicle body via a control arm assembly. A wheel carrier and at least one helical pressure spring which is supported on the vehicle body on the one hand and on the wheel carrier or the control arm assembly on the other hand. The spring stiffness of the vehicle body support referred to the wheel contact point of the wheel can be controlled so as to be variable. Use is made of a helical pressure spring assembly whose force action line deviates from the geometric spring center line. Furthermore, there are provided rotational means for the 3-dimensional adjustment of the force action line relative to the geometric spring center line.

Wheel suspension with spring adjustment for motor vehicles

A wheel suspension with a wheel-guiding strut in provided which includes a helical compression spring, a shock absorber, and a suspension arm, and which is connected to a body and to a wheel. The helical compression spring is preferably made such that it at least partially compensates for transverse forces on the shock absorber or on the piston rod of the shock absorber. Provisions are made for reducing or minimizing or eliminating the force which is delivered to the steering mechanism and which results from the difference between the components of the helical compression spring forces F acting in the direction of travel, and thus the reaction forces R , on the left and right sides of the vehicle. These provisions include making the helical compression spring such that the line of action of the spring force runs skewed to the center line of the shock absorber and the spring center line of the helical compression spring in the unloaded state is roughly or generally S-shaped in one plane and roughly or generally C-shaped in another plane.
