The invention relates to a suspension for a single wheel of a motor vehicle. A steering knuckle with wheel hub (1) is attached to a steering knuckle carrier (2) by a steering knuckle pin which is connected by a ball and socket joint (3) on its underside to a suspension arm (4) which is secured to the vehicle frame (6) by a pivot bearing (5). A second suspension arm (7) placed above the first suspension arm (4) connects, by means of a pair of tapered roller bearings, the upper part of the steering knuckle carrier (2) to the vehicle frame (6) through a pivot bearing (9).

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A suspension for a single wheel of a motor vehicle comprising:a steering knuckle carrier (2) having a steering knuckle rotatably supporting a wheel hub (1);a lower suspension arm (4) connected by a ball and socket joint (3) to a lower region of the steering knuckle carrier (2);an upper suspension arm (7) is connected to an upper region of the steering knuckle carrier (2) by a bearing (8);wherein any torque, tending to affect the steering knuckle carrier, is translated by the bearing (8) into motion about an axis extending in a travel direction of the vehicle, and the bearing (8), connecting the upper suspension arm (7) with the steering knuckle carrier (2), comprises a pair of tapered roller bearings (8) each having a tapered base to resist the torque affecting the steering knuckle carrier (2) around a vertical axis perpendicular to the axis extending in a travel direction of the vehicle.
