Abstract
A wheel suspension for a motor vehicle having a vehicle chassis comprises a wheel carrier having a journal for the support of a wheel for rotation independently of the wheel carrier, and first and second arms for supporting the wheel carrier to the vehicle chassis and extending in spaced relation to each other with the space therebetween gradually increasing as they extend outwardly from the wheel carrier towards the vehicle chassis. The wheel suspension further comprises a connecting member for elastically connecting the wheel carrier to the vehicle chassis for the displacement in a direction generally perpendicular to the widthwise direction of the vehicle chassis, and a shock absorber for absorbing vibration of the wheel carrier. The journal extends outwardly from the wheel carrier at a position spaced a smaller distance from the joint of the first arm to the wheel carrier than from the joint of the second arm to the wheel carrier.
