A suspension arm () for a vehicle including a bearing () and a journal (). The bearing () has at least one elastic sub-element () and the bearing () is arranged on the journal () of the suspension arm () and encloses the journal (). The journal () and the bearing () are designed to co-operate with one another in such manner that the bearing (), relative to the journal (), has a transition fit. The bearing () is fixed on the journal () of the suspension arm () by a fastening element ().

Rubber bearing connection

In a wheel suspension for a motor vehicle, comprising an A-arm with front and rear pivot bearings for connection to a vehicle body via A-arm-bearing eyes receiving, pressed into them, elastic bearings, at least the front bearing includes an inner tube and an outer tube with an elastic element disposed therebetween wherein the inner tube is axially engaged by a bearing console of the vehicle body and the outer tube is disposed, together with the elastic element, axially displaced forwardly from the center of the bearing eye.

Wheel suspension

In a wheel guide arrangement of a steered motor vehicle wheel which has control arms and a steering knuckle, and wherein the steering knuckle includes a reception structure for a wheel mount and also connecting areas for the mounting of stubs of ball joints connected to the wheel control arms, the connecting areas are disposed at different distances from the wheel axis and the ball joints are arranged between the connecting areas and the wheel axis of rotation, that is, above the connecting areas.

Wheel guide arrangement for a steered motor vehicle wheel

In a support arrangement for a steered vehicle wheel mounted on a wheel carrier which is supported by a transverse link by way of a ball joint with a flange pivotally supported and mounted on the transverse link by clamping screws extending through spaced mounting holes in the transverse link and the mounting flange, the mounting holes in one of the transverse link and mounting flange is formed by at least three different receiving bores disposed at different distances from the pivot point of the flange for receiving the clamping screws and the mounting holes in the other are holes elongated along a line extending through the pivot point between the transverse link and the flange and forming jointly with the screws stops which provide for positive engagement between the transverse link and the flange in each of the different relative pivot positions between the two.
