Abstract

Wheel suspension for a pair of driven motor vehicle wheels, comprising a member (1), which consists of two cast aluminum member elements (2, 3) which are joined to each other. The member is intended to be fixed to a vehicle undercarriage. A wheel carrier (15) for each wheel is carried by the member via an upper and a lower link arm (12, 13), a slotted rod (14) and a longitudinal bar (18). A final drive unit (4) is fixed to the member together with a transverse leaf spring (30), which forms the wheel spring system, without the use of any special through-fasteners.
