The invention relates to a wheel suspension for motor vehicles, comprising a wheel carrier (14), which has a wheel-side carrier part (16) that rotatably supports a vehicle wheel (12) and an axle-side guide part (18), between which a control element is connected, wherein the wheel-side carrier part (16) can be swiveled about a swivel angle relative to the axle-side guide part (18) to set a toe angle and/or camber angle when said control element is actuated. According to the invention, the wheel carrier (14), in particular the guide part (18) thereof, is guided directly or indirectly on a body-fixed linear guide (26) in the form of a slotted guide so as to be able to move in the vertical direction.
