Abstract

A transverse link for a wheel suspension, which can be connected to a suspension point of a car body or of a chassis and a holding point of a wheel mount. The transverse link has a connecting rod on the wheel mount side and a connecting rod on the vehicle side, which are connected to one another in a rotating manner. The connecting rod on the vehicle side can be fastened on the suspension point of the auto body or of the chassis and the connecting rod on the wheel mount side can be fastened to the holding point of the wheel mount. Such a transverse link can be used both on the front and rear axles. The plurality of variable parameters permits fine coordination with regard to kinematic travel properties. Also, a low number of additional components are required.
