Abstract: A wheel suspension, in particular an independent wheel suspension, having active adjustment of the wheel camber. An intermediate carrier is arranged between the hub carrier holding the wheel and the body-side wheel suspension, in particular the wheel suspension links. The intermediate carrier is linked to the wheel suspension on the body side and has a pivot axis running in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

Abstract: An arrangement for the suspension of a wheel of an automotive vehicle is disclosed. The wheel is connected to a propulsion device for driving the vehicle and a braking device for braking each individual wheel. The invention has sensors for detecting at least the angular steering displacement of the vehicle required by the vehicle driver, two steering link arms fitted between said body and attachment points in the wheel, positioned on both sides of an imaginary vertical line running through the center of the wheel, and a control unit for processing signals from the sensors and for actuating the steering link arms for adjustment of the wheel in response to the signals and the current operating state of the vehicle. Through the invention, an improved, integrated wheel suspension unit for automotive vehicles is provided, particularly allowing dynamic wheel alignment adjustment and adjustment of the angular steering displacement of each individual wheel of the vehicle.

Abstract: A system is provided for use on a vehicle (10) which allows the relative angle of turn between a first steerable wheel (20) and a second steerable wheel (22) to be established by use of a tie rod assembly (32) which is variable in length. The tie rod assembly (32) includes a hydraulic cylinder assembly to vary the length by introducing or removing pressurized hydraulic fluid. A spring (120) is provided to establish a predetermined length to the tie rod assembly should the hydraulic system fail. The length of the tie rod assembly is controlled by an electronic control (166) which is provided with data from angle sensors (160,162) at each of these steerable wheels. The electronic control can be provided with an electronic table of relative angles for the wheel members and can adjust the length of the tie rod appropriately. The device allows for establishing the desired relationship between the wheel members at any turn angle.

Abstract: An independent wheel suspension in a semi-trailing or compound arm construction having a wheel suspending semi-trailing or compound arm which is disposed at at least two points on the vehicle body and which has a wheel carrier which can be swivelled approximately about a vertical axis. The swivelling axis of the wheel carrier is situated behind the wheel axle with respect to the driving direction, whereas the wheel carrier in front of the wheel axle is elastically supported in the transverse direction of the vehicle on the semi-trailing or compound arm. Between the wheel carrier and the semi-trailing arm or a compound arm, a swing arm with approximately vertical swivelling axes is arranged in the area behind the wheel axle.
