A wheel carrier of a vehicle includes a clamping seat connection to a suspension strut or the like, which connection is clamped by a bolt-type connection. A lever structure is attached by this bolt-type connection to the clamping seat connection of the wheel carrier, from which lever structure an impact section projects from the bolt-type connection such that an obstacle striking this impact section or other object striking this impact section causes, in a vehicle crash, an at least partial release of the suspension strut in or from the clamping seat connection as a result of the impact.

A device for adjusting the height of a vehicle body, containing a movement thread, which is arranged between the vehicle body and a wheel carrier. The movement thread has two threaded parts that can be rotated in relation to each other, which are formed by a spindle and a spindle nut, and a locking apparatus, which bridges the movement thread at at least two axial positions in a positive-locking manner and which has a locking sleeve having locking stops arranged over the periphery at different axial positions. The device is characterized in that the locking sleeve is modularly formed of a stack of at least one locking element containing locking stops and groove sections and at least one intermediate element containing only groove sections.

A suspension apparatus includes a main body, a first arm configured to support a wheel with respect to the main body, a second arm spaced apart from the first arm and having a guide rail, a shock absorber disposed between the second arm and the main body, a first support member disposed on one side of the shock absorber and rotatably connected to the main body, a second support member disposed on another side of the shock absorber and seated on the guide rail, and a driver configured to adjust a height of the main body by moving the second support member along the guide rail.

Provided are a shock absorber and a bracket which are improved in attachment rigidity. A cylindrical portion is shaped by press-forming first and second holes in sheet material (flat plate) and then curving the sheet material into a tube, in which a bridge portion is formed between the first and second holes. The bracket is thus improved to have higher formability as compared to conventional brackets which are not provided with a bridge portion. This improves the accuracy (cylindricity, in particular) of the cylindrical portion. It is then possible to improve the shock absorber in attachment rigidity against a lateral force to the anteroposterior direction of a vehicle in a situation where the bracket is used to attach the shock absorber to the knuckle.
