Abstract
A motor vehicle rear axle suspension has an inherently stiff axle guide member. The axle guide member is articulated by a universal joint on the vehicle body in the central longitudinal plane of the vehicle. Lateral guidance is effected by a lateral guide linkage. In order to reduce the tendency of the rear axle to oversteer under the action of a lateral force, an axle tube has a configuration curved in the forward direction of travel and is articulated directly on the body by a universal joint.
