Abstract: A steering knuckle for a wheel of a vehicle is provided, particularly a motor vehicle, with a wheel bearing mounting section that serves for mounting the wheel bearing and with a control arm mounting section that serves for mounting control arms. The wheel bearing mounting section can be elastically pivoted relative to the control arm mounting section.

Abstract: An active geometry control suspension may reduce production cost with simple scheme and provide design freedom. An active geometry control suspension of the present invention includes an assist link including a first link of which an end is rotatably connected to a vehicle body and a second link of which an end is connected to the first link and the other end is rotatably connected to a wheel, a clutch assembly selectively connecting a connecting portion of the first link and the second link to the vehicle body and a driving unit operating the clutch assembly.

Abstract: A suspension device including two lower links that link a wheel supporting member and a vehicle-body side member to each other. The links are disposed substantially in parallel in a vehicle width direction. At least one projecting portion extends from at least one of the two links towards the other link. At least one elastic linking portion links the projecting portion of one of the links to at least one of the other link and the projecting portion of the other link. The at least one elastic linking portion has a rigidity that increases when a vibration input frequency increases to a value in a predetermined frequency band.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a suspension assembly including a bolt made from a bolt material; a suspension component made from a suspension material, the suspension component having a suspension opening therethrough, the suspension opening having a geometry for insertion of at least a first portion of the bolt; and a bushing assembly including an elastomeric element and a bushing opening therethrough, the bushing opening having a geometry for insertion of at least a second portion of the bolt; wherein the suspension material has a yield strength that is substantially higher than a yield strength of the bolt material.

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.
