Abstract
A wheel suspension for a vehicle axle, in particular a front axle, of a two-track vehicle includes a wheel carrier configured to support a vehicle wheel, and a link assembly configured to articulate the wheel carrier to a vehicle body. The link assembly includes at least one two-point link articulated on a side of the wheel carrier to the wheel carrier at a first mounting point and on a side of the vehicle body to the vehicle body at a second mounting point. The two-point link executes a pivotal movement in the event of a head-on collision to enable a collision-proximal vehicle wheel to move backwards. The two-point link includes a stop member to limit the pivotal movement in the event of the head-on collision, by impacting a body-side counterpiece, thereby forming a body-side third mounting point to block and counteract the pivotal movement of the two-point link.
