Abstract
A rear axle arrangement for a motor vehicle is disclosed having two independent wheel suspension systems with in each case at least two links and a wheel support. The links producing a connection between the vehicle body and the wheel support and being coupled at their ends in a relatively movable manner via elastic bearings. In the case of static wheel loading, the wheels of the rear axle exhibiting toe-in, which rear axle arrangement is distinguished by at least one elastic bearing of a link having a frequency-dependent bearing stiffness in such a way that, in the case of driving straight ahead and high-frequency dynamic wheel loading, a change into toe-out takes place on account of an increasing bearing stiffness of the bearing and the wheel is pressed into negative camber as a result of the change into toe-out.
