Abstract

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.
