Abstract

An independent suspension of a wheel of a two-track vehicle includes a trailing arm, one of the end portions of which is hinged to a vehicle body of the vehicle and the other end portion of which supports a wheel carrier. A scissor-type arm is hinged to the trailing arm and guides the trailing arm relative to the vehicle body. A spring element supports the trailing arm relative to the vehicle body. The spring element is arranged on the trailing arm in the region of the hinge point of the scissor-type arm to the trailing arm when seen in the direction of the vehicle longitudinal axis.
