Abstract
A single wheel suspension is provided for a rear axle of a vehicle. The single wheel suspension may have a transverse leaf spring, a damper, and a wheel carrier. The wheel carrier can be connected to the vehicle via a transverse link connected to the wheel carrier in an articulated manner. The wheel carrier can be further connected to the vehicle via a tie rod. The transverse links may include a carrier link and a camber link. The carrier link may be connected to the wheel carrier via two connections, with the transverse leaf spring being coupled in an articulated manner to one of the transverse links or wheel carrier via a connection element, which permits relative movement between the leaf spring and the transverse link or wheel carrier the leaf spring is coupled to.
