Wheel suspension for vehicle, with support, steering knuckle connected in articulated manner with the support via interconnected joints, a vehicle wheel rotatably supported on the steering knuckle, a connecting element extending between a first joint and a second joint which is connected in an articulated manner via the first joint to the steering knuckle and via the second joint to the support, an angle detection device , for measuring the rotation angle of one of the joints and for generating an angle signal characterizing the rotation angle, an evaluation device, for evaluating the angle signal, and which is coupled with the angle detection device. The connecting element is a chassis actuator with an adjusting means, with which the length of the chassis actuator and thereby the position of the vehicle wheel is varied. The length of the chassis actuator is determined with the evaluation device by evaluating the at least one angle signal.
A wheel suspension for a vehicle, with
The wheel suspension according to one of the preceding claims, wherein at least one other angle detection device (45, 46), with which at least one other rotation angle (48) of at least one other of the joints (9) can be measured and at least one other angle signal characterizing the other rotation angle (48) can be generated, wherein the length (L) of the chassis actuator (3) is determinable with the evaluation device (41) additionally by evaluating the at least one other angle signal.
A method of using at least one angle detection device (36, 37), comprising the steps of
