The wheel suspension system includes a transverse control arm (7) which restricts the transverse movement of the leaf springs (5) holding the wheels. The control is swivel-mounted in a plane running perpendicular to the vehicle vertical axis and attached in this plane to the leaf spring (5) outside of the transverse force active line of same. The leaf spring is mounted elastically pliable in the bearings for swivel movements in the swivel plane about the vertical axis. By attaching the track control arm in the travel direction before or behind the leaf spring it is possible to under or over steer the wheels when driving round bends.
