Abstract
A motor vehicle door hinge allows the door to be displaced relative to a doorpost in transverse and pivoting movements by means of a four-bar mechanism having a supporting arm and a control rod. The supporting arm is hingedly secured to the door's side and the doorpost by two respective hinge eyelets end areas. The control rod is coupled with a bearing plate on the door's side and the doorpost, whereby a corresponding hinge eyelet of the support arm is also coupled therewith, and with a hinge element on its end facing away from the side. The hinge acts upon the door's position by mounting the hinge element, coupled with the control rod, so that it can be displaced with and in the direction of said control rod relative to a corresponding hinge elements that is associated with a hinge eyelet of the supporting arm.
