Abstract
A vehicle wheel suspension comprises a wheel carrier which supports the wheel and which is connected in the lower area via a transverse link and a pressure strut with the vehicle body. In an articulated manner, a short A-arm is applied to the upper area of the wheel carrier and can be swivelled on a telescopic damper by means of its inner end about a swivelling axis extending approximately in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The telescopic damper is surrounded by a coaxial bearing spring constructed as a coil spring and is supported, like the bearing spring, in the upper area of the vehicle body. In order to compensate the bending moments exercised from the wheel load via the upper short A-arm upon the damper, the damper is connected with the transverse link so that it can be swivelled about an axis of rotation which is displaced toward the vehicle center relative to the center axis of the damper.
