Wheel suspension for a wheel of a vehicle

A wheel suspension for a wheel of a vehicle, comprising:

• a wheel carrier having a wheel bearing and a wheel hub mounted rotatably in the wheel bearing and rotatable about a wheel axis of the wheel carrier;
• a steering mechanism configured for adjusting a wheel steering angle, wherein the wheel carrier can be rotated by the steering mechanism about a rotation axis orientated transversely to the wheel axis, wherein the steering mechanism comprises:
• a track rod;
• a transverse control arm;
• a first coupling rod and a second coupling rod,
• wherein the first coupling rod is articulated to the second coupling rod;
• wherein the second coupling rod is articulated to the wheel carrier;
• wherein the track rod is articulated to a point between the ends of the first coupling rod in order to introduce a steering torque;
• wherein the first coupling rod is articulated to the transverse control arm and the steering torque can be transmitted from the first coupling rod via the second coupling rod to the wheel carrier;
• and
• wherein the transverse control arm is articulated to the wheel carrier and the transverse control arm can be articulated to a vehicle body or to a vehicle chassis;
• and
• a drive unit configured for driving the wheel hub and attached to the wheel carrier at connection points, wherein a drive unit axis of the drive unit is spaced from the wheel axle.
