Abstract
An axle for commerical vehicles with wheels which are independently guided is provided which enables double-jointed universal shafts to be used. The intersection of the axes of the wheel guides is at a distance from the articulation of the wheel shaft on the wheel bearer side which is greater than the distance between the articulations of the drive shaft on the wheel bearer side and the body side. This substantially reduces the amount of axial displacement during spring deflections.
