Abstract: A wheel bearing unit for a motor vehicle has a wheel bearing arranged in a pivot bearing and including a received propeller shaft which, by way of a joint bell, is situated opposite a receiving element of the pivot bearing. Directly opposite areas of the pivot bearing receiving element and the joint bell have reductions in their thicknesses, and a ring gap formed between the receiving element and the joint bell can be bridged by a sealing ring which can be pressed upon the propeller shaft.

Abstract: A caliper is fastened by a fastening arrangement on a projecting rib of a wheel carrier. The rib has a manufacturing thickness which, for the optional fastening of a floating or fixed caliper, can be reduced on each side by an amount of thickness such that a basic thickness of the rib remains. The fixed caliper can be fastened on the exterior side and the floating caliper can be fastened on the interior side of the rib at a defined distance from the brake disk by way of screwing devices.

Abstract: A wheel suspension for a motor vehicle is constructed with an axle bracing body which comprises an axle tube extending transversely to the driving direction and adjoining, longitudinally extending, additional axle tubes. On both ends of these axle tubes, one wheel respectively is disposed which is supported toward the vehicle body by way of a spring-and-damper element. The transversely extending axle tube is held by way of a center bearing in a cardanically disposed manner on the vehicle body and, in the area of the center bearing, has at least one softly bending zone. The free ends of the longitudinally extending axle tube are swivellably connected with transverse struts and are supported on the vehicle body in bearings.

Abstract: A wheel suspension for an axle of a motor vehicle has a transverse control arm and tension strut, the transverse control arm being held on the wheel carrier by way of a joint, and the body-side bearings of the transverse control arm and of the tension strut as well as of the connection bearing between the transverse control arm and the tension strut being constructed with a defined characteristic for the elastokinematic adjustment of the wheel under the effect of lateral and peripheral forces acting upon the wheel. The transverse control arm with the connected tension strut is arranged below a wheel drive shaft and--with respect to the driving direction--in front of a tie rod. In the top view, the tension strut extends diagonally toward the front, the transverse control arm and the tie rod having a positive position with respect to one another. They form a wheel steering pole situated outside the track width and behind the wheel center transverse plane.

Abstract: A wheel suspension for an axle of a motor vehicle, particularly a McPherson front axle, has a transverse control arm and a pivotally connected tension strut, the transverse control arm being held on the wheel carrier by way of a joint, and the body-side bearings of the transverse control arm and of the tension strut as well as of the connection bearing between the transverse control arm and the tension strut being constructed with a defined characteristic for the elastokinematic adjustment of the wheel under the effect of peripheral forces acting upon the wheel. The transverse control arm with the connected tension strut is arranged in an approximately horizontal plane and extends below the wheel spin axis approximately in a wheel center transverse plane. The tension strut is pivotally connected to the transverse control arm by way of a connection bearing and extends at an angle diagonally with respect to a longitudinal center axis of the vehicle.

Abstract: A wheel suspension system is provided for the driven steered and unsteered rear wheels of a motor vehicle comprising a wheel carrier which is supported on the vehicle body side by way of a spring strut. This wheel carrier is guided by two individual links forming and upper pivotal connection and by way of a lower pivotal connection consisting of an A-arm as well as a tie rod link extending approximately in the transverse direction of the vehicle. The individual links are arranged in a diverging manner in the vehicle transverse direction and are disposed in two spaced joints of the wheel carrier and, the A-arm is held on the wheel carrier by a joint so that both pivotal connections form an elastokinematic wheel swivelling axis and a kinematic swivelling axis.

Abstract: A control arm for a wheel suspension link for a motor vehicle is connected with the vehicle body by way of an elastic bearing. For this purpose, a holding element is arranged between the control arm and the bearing, which holding element is held, on the one hand, in a front face recess of the control arm in a non-rotatable manner and is, on the other hand, connected with a bearing sleeve of the control arm bearing.
