Abstract
A wheel suspension is described with a wheel-guiding McPherson strut unit which has a helical compression support spring, a shock absorber which is connected on one end to the body and on the other end to the wheel, and a suspension arm, the helical compression spring being made such that the helical compression spring at least partially compensates for transverse forces which occur on the shock absorber without the action of the helical compression spring. To enable the weight of the helical compression spring to be reduced, the helical compression spring is constructed and arranged so that the stress in the spring is at least approximately, preferably exactly, the same on the side of the spring center line or line of action of the spring force facing the wheel as on the side facing away from the wheel. This makes it possible to reduce the weight throughout by roughly 10%.
