Either the wheel carrier or the coupling rod is lengthened in the upward direction at least into the close surroundings of the tire tread. At the end of the lengthened portion, a hinge point is situated via which a hinged tie bar is supported on the vehicle front wall. In another variant, the crank formed by the coupling rod and the wheel carrier is supported on the spring strut of the independent wheel suspension.
