First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A wheel suspension for the rear axle of a vehicle, the wheel suspension comprising: a wheel carrier for fastening a rear wheel, a link system, which comprises at least two links for fastening to a body of the vehicle, is fastened to the wheel carrier, wherein the link system has a track rod which is connectable or is connected to a steering mechanism which is configured to produce a steering movement of the wheel carrier relative to the vehicle body, wherein one of the at least two links is a combination link with a basic body and two link portions for fastening at two positions of the body of the vehicle, wherein the combination link is mounted on the wheel carrier via a first bearing device and via a second bearing device. 2. The wheel suspension as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first bearing device and the second bearing device have parallel and coaxial bearing axes. 3. The wheel suspension as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the track rod is shorter than the at least two links of the link system, wherein the steering mechanism is arranged between the at least two links. 4. The wheel suspension as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the two link portions of the combination link are at an acute link angle with each other. 5. The wheel suspension as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the basic body forms the two link portions as an integral and monolithic component. 6. The wheel suspension as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the combination link with the two link portions provides at least two of the following links: spring link, control blade, or coupling link. 7. A rear axle of a vehicle, having two wheel suspensions with the features of claim 1 . 8. A wheel suspension for the rear axle of a vehicle, the wheel suspension comprising: a wheel carrier for fastening a rear wheel, a link system, which comprises at least two links for fastening to a body of the vehicle, is fastened to the wheel carrier, wherein one of the at least two links is a combination link with a basic body and two link portions for fastening at two positions of the body of the vehicle, wherein the combination link is mounted on the wheel carrier via a first bearing device and via a second bearing device, wherein the two bearing devices are arranged above and below a fastening intersection of the wheel carrier for fastening the rear wheel.
