It is disclosed a single-wheel suspension (1) for a steerable wheel (37) of a vehicle, in particular of an agricultural tractor, transport or special vehicle. The single-wheel suspension (1) comprises a steering column (17) that interacts via a fork bridge (7) with a linear guide (5) movable in an approximately vertical direction (A), wherein the fork bridge (7) establishes a steering connection pivotable about an approximately vertically extending rotation axis (B) to a vehicle frame (39). Furthermore, the linear guide (5) is coupled with a fluidic damping element (9) that forms a load-bearing component of the fork bridge (7). The damping element (9) comprises a damping cylinder that is designed as a steering column (17). Furthermore, the damping element (9) has one or more pressure reservoirs (11) with connections (13), wherein the pressure reservoirs (11) are fluidically connected to the damping cylinder via line systems.
