Abstract
A wheel suspension of a motor vehicle includes a wheel carrier which is connected to the vehicle body via wheel-guiding and wheel-steering components and which carries, by rolling-bearing mounting, at least one wheel via a wheel hub. For this purpose, the wheel carrier includes a vehicle-body-side and a wheel-side wheel-carrier part. The vehicle-body-side and the wheel-side wheel-carrier parts are connected via a sliding joint or pivot joint so as to be movable relative to one another, the wheel-carrier parts having a preferential position in relation to one another. The direction of relative movement between the vehicle-body-side and the wheel-side wheel-carrier part extends approximately in the direction of travel or in the opposite direction to the direction of travel. Moreover, between the wheel-carrier parts elements are arranged which reverse the joint movement and which return the wheel-carrier parts in the direction of the preferential position.
