Abstract
A twin control arm axle suspension system for wheels of motor vehicles is suggested which comprises a wheel carrier supporting the wheel on which, in a lower plane, a first control arm unit and, in an upper plane, a second control arm unit are disposed in an articulated manner by way of elastic control arm bearings and are held on the body in a swivellable manner. The second control arm unit is connected with the wheel carrier by way of a control arm bearing which is coordinated in a defined manner in the longitudinal and transverse direction--with respect to forces affecting the wheel. The control arm bearing is constructed to be stiffer in the transverse directions and in the longitudinal direction (driving direction ) than in the longitudinal direction (against the driving direction).
