Summary:An independent wheel suspension for the wheels (2,3) is composed of: longitudinal control arms (6,7), which are connected at one end to the vehicle in an articulated fashion and at the other end to a wheel carrier (4,5) in a secure fashion, transverse control arms (12,13), which are connected to the vehicle and to the wheel carrier (4,5) in an articulated fashion, and further connections between longitudinal control arms (6,7) and the vehicle whose articulation points (22, 27) are offset with respect to the articulation points (14,16) of the transverse control arm (12,13), which causes the toe-in and king pin inclination to be adjusted independently of the spring deflection. The rest of the connection is in each case a leaf spring (20,25) which is arranged approximately in the transverse direction of the vehicle and one end (21,26) of which is clamped in a secure fashion to the motor vehicle and the other end of which is connected to the longitudinal control arm (6,7) in an articulated fashion at the articulation point (22,27). The leaf springs (20,25) are connected (30) to one another in the central plane of the vehicle.
