Abstract
A wheel suspension for a motor vehicle wheel for damping NVH effects, wherein the NVH effects are transmitted from an automatic transmission to the driven wheel via the drive train at idle. The NVH effects can potentially be transmitted from the wheel to the vehicle structure via the wheel suspension. The wheel suspension having at least one elastic element, the stiffness of which in a vertical direction of deflection has a softer stiffness characteristic in a deflection range close to the zero point than in deflection ranges more remote from the zero point.
