A wheel suspension for a vehicle, comprising: at least one wheel guiding element which connects a steering knuckle to a vehicle bodywork, and a spring-based and/or vibration-based damping element functioning like a shock-absorber strut or a suspension strut or a spiral spring, wherein the spring-based and/or vibration-based damping element is connected to the steering knuckle, wherein the wheel guiding element has a through-opening in the vehicle vertical direction, and wherein the spring-based and/or vibration-based damping element is located such that it protrudes through the through-opening.

Wheel suspension for a vehicle

A wheel suspension for an at least slightly actively steerable has a wheel carrier for receiving a wheel, a toe link, and at least one further link for connecting the wheel carrier to the vehicle body, and an actuator arrangement having at least one actuator for actively steering the wheel in a first active steering direction and in a second active steering direction. The wheel carrier is formed in at least two parts and has a first wheel carrier part and a second wheel carrier part. The first wheel carrier part is designed to receive the wheel and the second wheel carrier part can be attached via at least one of the further links to the vehicle body, in a non-actively steerable manner. The first wheel carrier part and the second wheel carrier part in a functional state of use of the wheel suspension in a vehicle are movable relative to one another by the actuator arrangement, such that an active, at least slight steering movement of the wheel can be effected.

Wheel suspension for an at least slightly actively steerable rear wheel of a two-track vehicle, axle comprising a wheel suspension, and vehicle comprising a wheel suspension

The invention provides an axle for wheels of a two-track motor vehicle. The axle has, on each vehicle side, a wheel carrier, a damper strut, a transverse link and a transverse leaf spring which controls the wheel at least partially laterally and/or in the vehicle longitudinal direction. The damper strut has a damper tube and a damper piston which can be moved in the damper tube along a damper longitudinal axis. The damper strut is attached by the damper tube to the wheel carrier. The transverse link is attached by a wheel-carrier-side end region to the wheel carrier. The transverse leaf spring extends substantially in the vehicle transverse direction and has at least one wheel-carrier-side end region. The transverse leaf spring is attached by the wheel-carrier-side end region thereof to the damper strut and is supported on the damper strut.
