WHEEL SUSPENSION FOR A WHEEL OF A VEHICLE

A wheel suspension is provided for a wheel of a vehicle. In one example, the suspension has a wheel carrier with a wheel bearing, and a wheel hub is rotatably mounted in the wheel bearing and rotatable about a wheel axis of the wheel carrier. A steering mechanism is configured for adjusting a wheel steering angle, where the wheel carrier can be rotated about a rotation axis that is orientated transversely to the wheel axis. To enable the wheel bearing and/or the wheel to be driven, and/or to improve an arrangement of a drive unit and/or the connection of the drive unit, the wheel suspension has a drive unit configured for driving the wheel hub and arranged on the wheel carrier. A drive axle of the drive unit is a distance away from the wheel axle.
