Abstract

A chassis component (16), with a first end section (17) and a second end section (18) and a connecting section (19) is arranged between the two end sections (17, 18). At least one ball joint (21) is associated with one of the two end sections (17, 18), and a sensor device (22) is associated with the ball joint (21). A first sensor element (23) of the sensor device (22) is arranged on the end section (18) that has the ball joint (21) and a second sensor element (24) is arranged on an inner joint component (25) of the ball joint (21). In order to avoid damage to the chassis component (16) and/or a disturbance-inducing factor for the sensor device (22) caused by a tensile or compressive load, the connecting section (19) has an elastically deformable zone (20) preferably in the longitudinal and/or the transverse direction of the vehicle.
