Abstract
An independent suspension for steered wheels of motor vehicles in which the wheel carrier that serves for the guidance of the wheel during spring and steering movements is connected with the vehicle superstructure in its lower area by means of a cross guide member and in its upper area by way of two individual guide members for achieving an ideal steering axis; the symmetry line with respect to the two upper guide members thereby subtends in the straight driving position of the wheel--as viewed in plan view--an acute angle to the wheel axis and is located to the rear of the wheel axis as viewed in the driving direction.
