摘要： A wishbone (1) is disclosed, for the suspension of axles on motor vehicles to give a jointed connection of a vehicle axle to a vehicle chassis, with two control arms (2, 3), connected together to the vehicle axle by means of a joint housing (6) for a rubber/metal bearing (11) to fix the wishbone (1), formed in common by the control arms (2, 3), whereby the rubber/metal bearing (11) comprises a swivel pin (12) with a ball surface and an elastomeric body (14) enclosing the swivel pin (12), at least in the region of the ball surface, housed in a recess (16) within the joint housing (6). Two press rings (17, 18) are arranged within the recess (16) in the joint housing (6) on the axial outer side of the elastomeric body (14), which may be displaced towards each other by means of a tensioning device, using interposed stop surfaces (22) on the joint housing (6) against the opposing outer sides of the press rings (17, 18). By means of said particular embodiment the rubber/metal bearing can be tensioned in both the axial and the radial direction, such as to permit larger forces to be transmitted due to the greater rigidity thus achieved.
