Embodiment Construction

[0024] figure 1 The first exemplary embodiment of the wheel guide 10 according to the invention is shown in the installed position on the motor vehicle 1 . Wheel guide bars usually support the wheels of a car on its body. If terms such as above, below, front, rear or transverse are used in the following description of the wheel guide arm 10 , they are each referred to the intended general installation position on the motor vehicle.

[0025] In particular, wheel guide struts 10 arranged close to the underbody can be exposed to head-on currents A caused by the driving wind and thus adversely affect the air resistance coefficient of the motor vehicle.

[0026] In the shown first exemplary embodiment, the wheel guide link 10 is shown by way of example as a tie rod. However, the following explanations can likewise be transferred to other types of wheel guide rods 10 .

[0027] The wheel guide link 10 of the first exemplary embodiment accordingly comprises at least one wheel-side...

Abstract

The invention relates to a wheel-guiding strut for a motor vehicle. The wheel-guiding strut comprises at least one wheel-side connection part and one or more attachment-side connection parts, as well as a support structure connecting these connecting parts, and the support structure compirses a side facing in the forward travel direction. An air guiding device is provided on the flank which points in the direction of the forward travel, the air guide is designed to direct a portion of the incident flow of the wheel guide rod through the support structure and simultaneously guide a portion of the incident flow through the lower part of the support structure. In this way, it is possible with simple means to reduce the air resistance of a motor vehicle caused by a vehicle wheel suspension.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a wheel guide rod for a motor vehicle, comprising at least one wheel-side connection point and one or more body-side connection points and a support structure connecting these connection points, said support structure having a The side to which the direction of travel points. Background technique [0002] Such wheel guide rods are generally known in vehicle construction and are used there in numerous variants. [0003] In motor vehicles with a relatively high floor height, such as light trucks, in particular wheel suspension components arranged near the floor are exposed to increased wind currents caused by driving wind and thus affect the vehicle's air drag coefficient. In a conventional car, these components are mainly protected from direct oncoming wind by the surrounding components, so this problem is not clearly manifested here. Contents of the invention [0004] The technical problem underlying the invention is to red...
