Proposed is an independent wheel suspension for a motor vehicle, in which at least one first and at least one second link (1, 2, 3, 4) are in each case articulatedly coupled to a wheel carrier (7, 8) which supports a vehicle wheel (5, 6). The independent wheel suspension has compensating means (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14) for correcting wheel positions, wherein at least the first and the second link (1, 2, 3, 4) have a compensating means (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14) or are connected to a compensating means (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14), and at least two compensating means (9, 10 and 12, 13 respectively) of one wheel are connected to one another by means of at least one coupling element (15, 16, 17, 18). According to the invention, a wheel position of at least one of the vehicle wheels (5, 6) which differs from the neutral position can be sensed by means of a sensor unit (19, 20), composed of a measured value emitter and a measured value pick-up, which is arranged on at least one of the compensating means (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14) of the respective vehicle wheel (5, 6) or which is assigned to at least one of the compensating means (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14).
