Abstract
A wheel suspension for a front axle of a motor vehicle, especially for an all-terrain vehicle, with a pulled-up drag bearing upon which double transverse links, which have the ability to swing and which are comprised of steering triangles, are positioned. The one transverse link is arranged above a wheel and the other transverse link and a steering tie rod as well as a stabilizer are arranged underneath a rotation axis of the wheel. A bearing on the side of the drag bearing side of the upper transverse link as well as a bearing of the steering tie rod on the drag bearing are arranged—in relation to the direction of movement—behind a vertical transverse plane of the center of the wheel. A corresponding additional bearing on the side of the drag bearing of the lower transverse link is arranged in front of the vertical transverse plane of the center of the wheel in such a way that a geometric swiveling axis or a trailing axis with piercing point in the wheel contact plane outside of the tread and in front of the vertical transverse plane of the center of the wheel results. The upper bearing on the side of the drag bearing and the lower transverse link with the steering tie…
