Abstract
An arrangement for the suspension of a motor vehicle wheel having a wheel-bearing housing for bearing the wheel, a lower link arm for connecting the bodywork of the motor vehicle and a lower part of the wheel-bearing housing, and an upper link arm for connecting the bodywork and an upper part of the wheel-bearing housing. The arrangement further includes an additional connection between the bodywork and the wheel-bearing housing and a coupling link that is substantially rigid in the vertical direction for connecting the additional connection and lower link arm. The improved arrangement is especially suitable for a rear wheel suspension in a motor vehicle, thereby permitting a high degree of longitudinal softness and high windup strength.
