In the exemplary embodiments (5,6) shown in figures 5 and 6 the wheel suspension also comprises a shock absorber (F), and sensor (B) is placed on the suspension strut between spring (C;E) and chassis or superstructure (A).
In the exemplary embodiments (7-10) shown in figures 7 to 10 the wheel suspension also comprises a main spring / air-link ( ). Sensor (B) can be located between spring (C;E) and chassis or superstructure (A) as shown in figures 7 and 9. A relative mechanical load between spring (C;E) and chassis or superstructure (A) can thus be determined. Sensor (V) can also be attached to main spring / air-link ( ) as shown in figures 8 and 10. A mechanical deformation or bending of main spring / air-link ( ) can thus be determined. In the exemplary embodiments (1 1-14) shown in figures 1 1 to 14, the wheel suspension comprises a leaf spring (M) and a connecting element (L). Sensor (B) can be located between leaf spring (M) and chassis or superstructure (A), between connecting element (L) and chassis or superstructure (A) or between leaf spring ( ) and wheel axle (D) as shown in figures 12-14. A relative mechanical load between the relevant components can thus be determined. Sensor (V) can also be attached to leaf spring (M) as shown in figure 1 1. A mechanical deformation or bending of leaf spring (M) can thus be determined.

In the exemplary embodiment (17) shown in figure 17, the wheel suspension comprises a torsion spring (N) and sensor (B) is part of torsion spring (N). A moment of torque measured by means of sensor (B) is equal here to a moment of torque to be determined in torsion spring (N).
