Abstract

A rear wheel suspension and a motor vehicle with such a rear wheel suspension are provided. The rear wheel suspension includes a wheel carrier configured for the rotatable bearing of a rear wheel, wherein the wheel carrier has at an end on a body side, a bearing for connection to a body with an axle, a bushing, and a base frame. The axle rests in the bushing. The axle is arranged on a bearing region of the wheel carrier, and the bushing rests in an aperture of the base frame.

Claims (25)

1. A rear wheel suspension comprising:

a wheel carrier configured for a rotatable bearing of a rear wheel, wherein the wheel carrier has at an end on a body side:

a bearing for connection to a body with an axle;

a bushing;

a base frame, wherein the axle rests in the bush, and wherein the axle is arranged on a bearing region of the wheel carrier, and the bush rests in an aperture of the base frame; and

a duct fastened on the base frame.

2. The rear wheel suspension according to claim 1 , wherein the rear wheel suspension is for an automobile.

3. The rear wheel suspension according to claim 1 , wherein the bearing region has two flanges between which the bushing is arranged and on which the axle is arranged.

4. The rear wheel suspension according to claim 1 , wherein the axle is rotatably mounted on the bearing region and/or the bushing or is torsionally rigid.

5. The rear wheel suspension according to claim 1 , wherein the bushing is rotatably mounted in the aperture or is torsionally rigid.

6. The rear wheel suspension according to claim 1 , wherein the bushing has at least two bushing parts, which are mounted rotatably with respect to one another.

7. The rear wheel suspension according to claim 1 , wherein the base frame surrounds the bushing, at least partially, in a normal plane to the axle.

8. The rear wheel suspension according to claim 7 , wherein the bushing rests in a frictionally engaged and/or form-fitting manner in the aperture.

9. The rear wheel suspension according to claim 1 , wherein the bushing is constructed so as to be elastic.

10. A motor vehicle with a rear wheel suspension comprising:

a body defining a recess;

a wheel carrier configured for a rotatable bearing of a rear wheel, wherein the wheel carrier has at an end on a body side:

a bearing for connection to a body with an axle;

a bushing; and

a base frame disposed at least partially within the recess, wherein the axle rests in the bushing, and wherein the axle is arranged on a bearing region of the wheel carrier, and the bushing rests in a recess of the base frame, and wherein the base frame is connected with the body.

11. The motor vehicle according to claim 10 , wherein the motor vehicle is an automobile.

12. The motor vehicle according to claim 10 , wherein the body comprises a longitudinal beam.

13. The motor vehicle according to claim 10 , wherein a duct is directed past the base frame.

14. The motor vehicle according to claim 13 , wherein the duct is a fuel duct.

15. The motor vehicle according to claim 13 , wherein the duct is fastened on the base frame or adjacent thereto on the body.
