The suspension (10) has wishbone-shaped component (12) and track rod whose wheel carrier articulation points (30,32) that are transversely offset in the vehicle transverse direction (y). The body-side bearing points (20,22) of the wishbone-shaped component are arranged in elastokinematic state under application of the longitudinal and/or lateral forces (FL,FS), such that lateral offset of the wheel carrier articulation point (30) of the wishbone-shaped component is greater than the transverse offset of the wheel carrier articulation point (32) of the track rod.
