Abstract
An independent wheel suspension for driven rear wheels of motor vehicles, which includes a wheel carrier guided through five single links articulated on the wheel carrier side and on the vehicle body side. The lower articulation for the wheel carrier is formed by a longitudinal link extending obliquely forwardly and inwardly as a compression strut and by a transverse link, with points of articulation of the compression strut and transverse link on the carrier being located near to one another. An upper articulation for the wheel carrier is formed by a transverse link, as a camber strut, and by a forwardly extending longitudinal link as a tension strut. A track rod extends in a transverse direction of the vehicle with a wheel spring suspension, formed by a shock absorber and non-guiding spring. The compression strut extends obliquely forwardly and inwardly with the transverse link, functioning as a spring link, in carrying the spring and shock absorber. An articulation point of the spring link on a wheel carrier side is disposed behind a transversely extending center plane of the wheel and near a longitudinally extending center phase, with the spring like extending behind the transversely extending center plane of the wheel in such a manner that an intersection point between the longitudinal axes of the compression strut and spring link is located behind a transversely extending center plane of the wheel and near the longitudinally extending center plane of the wheel. A track rod is located forwardly of the transversely extending center plane of the wheel and extends in a transverse direction obliquely forwardly and inwardly.
