Independent Vehicle Suspension Having a Spring-Link Suspension Structure Made from a Fiber Composite Material

An independent suspension of a vehicle, comprising:

• a spring-link suspension structure formed of a composite fiber material and having a U-shape viewed in a vehicle longitudinal direction, upper and lower members of the U-shape being interconnected by a base-member,
• wherein ends of the upper and lower members are secured to a vehicle body or a carrier connected to the vehicle body, at least one such securement having no rotational degree of freedom about an axis extending in the vehicle longitudinal direction;
• a wheel hub connected to the base member of the U-shaped spring-link suspension structure, the wheel hub being configured to secure a vehicle wheel;
• wherein at least one of the upper and lower members is secured to the vehicle body or to the carrier in a substantially rigid manner and no further wheel-guiding suspension link is provided that extends substantially in the vehicle longitudinal direction;
• wherein, in order to obtain a desired toe-in increase of the vehicle wheel when braking, a recess is arranged in at least one of the upper and lower members, the recess extends from a point at which the wheel hub is secured to the base member across only a sub-region of the at least one limb in a longitudinal direction of the at least one limb.
