Abstract

See full text

The present invention concerns a wheel suspension 5 for a torsion beam axle 1, whereby a wheel mount 8 rotates about a virtual steering axle 18 as a result of a cornering force. According to the invention, it is further provided that a wheel mount bracket 6 with a yielding element 11 is coupled to the end 4 of a longitudinally extending swing arm 3 of the torsion beam axle 1, so that an additional steering in positive toe occurs as a result of a lateral force effect.
