Abstract
An independent wheel suspension for motor vehicles, especially for steered vehicle wheels of passenger motor vehicles, which includes a shock absorber strut and a support arm connected thereat by way of a support joint. Additionally, an intermediate guide member connects the support arm and the shock absorber strut. A pivot axis between the universal joint on the side of the support arm and the support joint intersects the line of action of a vertical force engaging at the point of contact of the wheel. A connecting line between the universal joint of the support arm on the side of the body and the force line of action of a coil spring arranged on the support arm also extends through this point of intersection. The shock absorber strut is to be kept free of transverse forces by this construction.
