Abstract
An independent vehicle wheel suspension, especially for steered vehicle wheels of passenger motor vehicles, which includes a shock absorber strut and a support arm connected at the shock absorber strut by way of a support joint. The support arm is subdivided by way of a hinge joint into a section on the side of the wheel and into a section on the side of the body. Additionally, an intermediate guide member connects the support arm and shock absorber strut. A pivot axis between the universal joint of the intermediate guide member on the support arm side and the support joint intersects the line of action of a vertical force engaging at the point of contact of the wheel. The extension of the joint axis of the hinge joint also extends through this point of intersection. As a result of this construction the shock absorber strut 3 is to remain free of transverse forces.
