Patent ID: 8454042

Claim:
A wheel suspension of a motor vehicle comprising: a transverse leaf spring arranged along a transverse axis of the motor vehicle and which transverse leaf spring is connected via two bearings with a body of the vehicle and connected in an articulated manner at its two mutually opposite ends with a stub axle or suspension arm; wherein the bearings are arranged such that the transverse leaf spring is stiffly fixed in a direction of a vertical axis of the vehicle and is movable in a translatory manner in a direction of the transverse axis of the vehicle and is rotationally movable around an axis that is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle; wherein the bearings include two holders which are fixed to the vehicle body and are filled with an elastic material, and a guide part which encases the transverse leaf spring and which is rotatably mounted on the holders around an axis directed approximately parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle via bolts extending out of the guide part in the direction of the longitudinal axis, with the bolts being movably held in the holders in a plane perpendicularly to the vertical axis of the vehicle; and wherein in the plane perpendicular to the vertical axis of the vehicle the elastic material includes a cavity adjacent to the bolts and configured to reduce resistance of the elastic material against movements of the bolts.
