A front wheel suspension for motor vehicles with the use of a triangularly shaped guide member whose two guide arms are elastically supported at the vehicle superstructure in such a way that of the two guide arms, the forwardly disposed guide arm is directly elastically connected at the vehicle superstructure while the rear guide arm is connected with the vehicle superstructure by way of a cross yoke that is common to the wheel suspensions of both vehicle sides; the forward and rear guide arm of each triangular guide member are thereby pivotally connected with each other and a relatively radially soft bearing support is used for the forward guide arm at the vehicle superstructure; while the rear guide arm is pivotally connected at the cross yoke in such a manner that the connection of the rear guide arm with the cross yoke is constructed relatively hard at least in the direction of the line of force determined by its points of pivotal connection.
A front wheel suspension for a motor vehicle having a superstructure with its front wheels disposed opposite one another on the two vehicle sides, said suspension comprising a substantially triangularly shaped guide means for each said wheels, each said guide means of each vehicle side having a forward and rear guide arm pivotally connected with each other, means pivotally and elastically connecting the corresponding forward guide arms directly to the vehicle superstructure to provide a relatively soft absorption of forces in the vehicle transverse direction, a cross yoke means common to the wheel guide means on both vehicle sides elastically connected with the vehicle superstructure, means operatively connecting the respective rear guide arms on said cross yoke, each said rear guide connecting means including elastic means elastically connecting said rear guide to the cross yoke means.
