The invention relates to a wheel suspension for motor vehicles. One of its wheel suspension members forms a wheel suspension strut which is fitted vertically into the latter and has a shock absorber (18,76,84) supported flexibly (87.87',87'') with its piston rod (84) in an upper suspension joint fixed to the body. Due to bending moments in the transverse direction of the vehicle, introduced via the wheel carrier, the shock absorber is subject to inward deformations. In order considerably to improve the displaceability of the piston and piston rod in the cylinder tube (76) of the shock absorber, which is impaired by such deformations, it is proposed to impose on the upper suspension joint of the wheel suspension strut a corresponding prestress about the hinge point (72') in a transverse plane of the vehicle in order to produce a countermoment which counteracts bending moments. <IMAGE> |
