A steering triangle ( 1 ) is provided for the axle suspension of motor vehicles for the articulated connection of a vehicle axle with a vehicle chassis with two control arms ( 2, 3 ). The control arms are connected to each other in a joint housing ( 6 ) formed by the control arms ( 2, 3 ) together for a rubber-metal bearing ( 11 ) for fixing the steering triangle ( 1 ) on the vehicle axle. The rubber-metal bearing ( 11 ) has a pivot axis ( 12 ) provided with a spherical surface and an elastomer body ( 14 ), which extends around the pivot axis ( 12 ) at least in the area of the spherical surface and which is accommodated in a recess ( 16 ) located within the joint housing ( 6 ), in which steering triangle two pressing rings ( 17, 18 ) are arranged within the recess ( 16 ) of the joint housing ( 6 ) on the axial outer sides of the elastomer body ( 14 ). The pressing rings can be moved toward each other by a tensioning device via the intermediary of stop faces ( 22 ) of the joint housing ( 6 ). The stop faces are in contact with the outer sides of the pressing rings ( 17, 18 ), which outer sides face away from each other. The rubber-metal bearing can be pretensioned both in the axial direction and in the radial direction, so that stronger forces can be absorbed due to the higher rigidity achieved as a result. |
