Abstract
A wheel suspension for a motor vehicle is constructed with an axle bracing body which comprises an axle tube extending transversely to the driving direction and adjoining, longitudinally extending, additional axle tubes. On both ends of these axle tubes, one wheel respectively is disposed which is supported toward the vehicle body by way of a spring-and-damper element. The transversely extending axle tube is held by way of a center bearing in a cardanically disposed manner on the vehicle body and, in the area of the center bearing, has at least one softly bending zone. The free ends of the longitudinally extending axle tube are swivellably connected with transverse struts and are supported on the vehicle body in bearings.
