Abstract
The invention relates to a wheel suspension for the driven wheels of a motor vehicle which are each fastened detachably by means of wheel bolts to a contact surface of a brake member which for its part is mounted rotatably by means of at least one roller bearing on a suspension connected in pivotable manner to the frame or structure of the vehicle and is connected to a drive shaft. In order to provide a structurally simple connection which is free of play both in the axial as well as in the radial direction the end of the drive shaft on the wheel side is connected via a shaft section having a polygonal outer contour directly to the brake member. Furthermore the drive shaft adjoining this polygonal shaft section is constructed with a cylindrical shaft section serving as the seat for the roller bearing.
