Motor vehicle rear axle, especially for passenger vehicles

摘要

The invention relates to a motor vehicle rear axle, in which the body-side pivot bearings of its wheel suspension elements carrying the wheels are of elastic or elasto-kinematic design and arranged in such a way that any tendency of the wheel suspension elements to give way to a tendency to oversteer under the effect of lateral forces acting on the wheels, especially when cornering, is counteracted, the wheel suspension elements being on the one hand resiliently supported on the vehicle body in such a way that vertical force components FzL proportional to the wheel normal forces FzH are operative in the body-side pivot bearings and on the other the elastic or elasto-kinematic lateral flexibility of the pivot bearings being adjustable by the effective vertical force components in such a way that this counteraction - for a lateral force effect of equal magnitude - also increases as the vertical force component increases. <IMAGE>
