The invention relates to a suspension
system for a vehicle wheel suspension having a first spring element (1) in the end clamped between the vehicle body (11) and a vehicle wheel (12,12′) and a second or additional spring element (2,3) which in the end can be clamped between the vehicle body (11) and the vehicle wheel (12,12′) by the introduction of a tensile force by means of a mechanical tensioning element (4,5,6,20), which spring element (2,3) can thereby be connected parallel to the first spring element (1), while this additional spring element (2,3) is not active without tensile force introduced into the
system, and furthermore having a pressure addition spring element (29) which, in the case of large spring excursions of the first spring element (1), becomes active by way of an end stop. In this case, the pressure addition spring element (29) is not activated with the introduction of the tensile force for activating the second or additional spring element (2). The spring rate of the second spring element (2) is preferably lower than that of the first spring element (1). Second or additional spring elements assigned to different wheels or axles of the motor vehicle can be activated or deactivated by means of a common mechanical tensioning element having a
servo motor which can shorten or lengthen several tension devices connected with the additional spring elements and, for this purpose, can wind them onto reels or unwind them from the latter.
