Abstract: A suspension-strut mounting for installation between a shock-absorber strut or spring strut and a vehicle body spring-supported with respect to the axles, with at least one connecting element having elastically resilient and vibration damping properties which is connected both with the body as also with the piston rod of a shock-absorber of the shock-absorber strut or spring-strut; an additional vibration damper is provided in parallel with the connecting element.

Abstract: This invention relates to an independent front axle suspension for passenger cars. The suspension possesses a lower guide member, which is set transversely to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and is flexibly coupled to the vehicle body, and a shock absorber strut, or spring strut, which is located between this guide member and the vehicle body, on which strut a wheel carrier is retained. This wheel carrier is able to move about a steering axis and is coupled to a steering track rod extending in the transverse direction of the vehicle.The total mass of the front axle suspension is capable of vibrating about an instantaneous rotation axis which extends downwards from the upper coupling point of the shock absorber strut, or spring strut. This axis is orientated in space in such a manner that it intersects the axis of the steering track rod, or crosses this axis, lying at least in close proximity thereto.
