Abstract
The invention relates to a device for adjusting the camber and/or toe of a driven wheel of a wheel suspension, in particular for motor vehicles, with a wheel carrier on which the wheel is pivoted, the wheel carrier being divided into a carrier part which holds the wheel a guide part which is connected to the wheel suspension and into two pivotal parts which are arranged in between, which can be rotated to one another as well as to the carrier part and to the guide part around axes of rotation, and which interact with control surfaces which face one another and which are inclined by a defined angle to the axis of rotation, and a wheel drive shaft which is guided by the carrier part and guide part and by the pivotal parts. According to the invention, the carrier part has a hub section which surrounds the wheel drive shaft and which extends to the guide part, and around which the two pivoted part are situated, and that between the hub section and the guide part an inner sealing element is connected which seals an annular gap between the hub section and the guide part.
