Patent ID: 8571756

Claim:
A wheel suspension for a vehicle, with a support ( 6 ), a steering knuckle ( 2 ) which is connected in an articulated manner with the support ( 6 ) by way of several interconnected joints ( 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ), a vehicle wheel ( 15 ) which is rotatably supported on the steering knuckle ( 2 ), at least one connecting element ( 3 ) which extends between a first of the joints ( 8 ) and a second of the joints ( 9 ) and which is connected in an articulated manner by way of the first joint ( 8 ) to the steering knuckle ( 2 ) and by way of the second joint ( 9 ) to the support ( 6 ), at least one angle detection device ( 36 , 37 ), with which the at least one rotation angle ( 40 ) of at least one of the joints ( 8 ) can be measured and at least one angle signal characterizing the rotation angle ( 40 ) is or can be generated, an evaluation device ( 41 ), with which the angle signal is or can be evaluated, coupled with the angle detection device ( 36 , 37 ), wherein the connecting element ( 3 ) is a chassis actuator with an adjusting means ( 27 ), with which the length (L) of the chassis actuator ( 3 ) and thereby the position of the vehicle wheel ( 15 ) can be varied, wherein the length (L) of the chassis actuator ( 3 ) is or can be determined with the evaluation device ( 41 ) by evaluating the at least one angle signal ( 40 ).
