Wheel carrier for a two-track motor vehicle

[0030]FIG. 1 shows the wheel carrier with mounted vehicle wheel 13 in a side view. The wheel carrier has a carrier part 3 in which a wheel flange 5 is rotatably supported with its hub section 7 in a wheel bearing 12 with interposition of a bearing 43. On the wheel flange 5 a brake disc 11 and a vehicle wheel 13, via its wheel rim, are mounted. The brake disc 11 together with a brake caliper 15, which is mounted on the carrier part, are a component of the brake system. Through the wheel carrier an articulated shaft, which drives the vehicle wheel 13, is guided, wherein on the constant velocity joint 9 of the articulated shaft an also not shown central screw is screwed with which the wheel bearing 12 is clamped via the wheel hub 5 and the constant velocity joint 9.

[0031]The wheel carrier also has a guide part 17 on which in FIG. 1 exemplarily a control arm 19 of the wheel suspension is articulately connected. Between the carrier part 3 and the guide part 17 two rotary parts 21, 23 are pr
