Claims (17)

1 .- 8 . (canceled)

9 . A chassis suspension for a motor vehicle, comprising:

an electrically driven chassis suspension component with a first contact unit; and

a mating contact unit detachably connectable to the first contact unit, the mating unit being arranged on a control cable, and the mating control unit comprising an accelerator sensor having a connection cable.

10 . The chassis suspension of claim 9 , wherein the chassis suspension component is a vibration damper device with variable damping force and includes a cylinder having an interior filled with damping fluid, a piston dividing the interior of the cylinder into a first fluid chamber and a second fluid chamber, a fluid connection connecting the first and second fluid chambers, a piston rod connected to the piston and sealingly extending out of the cylinder through the first fluid chamber, and a valve unit fastened to one of the cylinder or the piston rod configured to set a cross section of the fluid connection, the valve unit having an electric actuating drive connected to the contact unit.

11 . The chassis suspension of claim 9 , the acceleration sensor is integrated into the mating contact unit.

12 . The chassis suspension of claim 9 , the acceleration sensor is integrated into an adapter via which the mating contact unit can be detachably connected to the contact unit.

13 . The chassis suspension of claim 9 , wherein the connection cable forms a cable unit with the control cable.

14 . The chassis suspension of claim 9 , wherein the first contact unit and mating contact unit form a plug-in contact.

15 . The chassis suspension of claim 9 , further comprising a cable connecting the contact unit to the chassis suspension component, the contact unit being detachably mountable on the chassis suspension component.

16 . The chassis suspension of claim 15 , further comprising a holder arranged on the cylinder, wherein the contact unit is detachably mountable to the holder.

17 . The chassis suspension of claim 10 , the acceleration sensor is integrated into the mating contact unit.

18 . The chassis suspension of claim 10 , the acceleration sensor is integrated into an adapter via which the mating contact unit can be detachably connected to the contact unit.

19 . The chassis suspension of claim 10 , wherein the connection cable forms a cable unit with the control cable.

20 . The chassis suspension of claim 10 , wherein the first contact unit and mating contact unit form a plug-in contact.

21 . The chassis suspension of claim 10 , further comprising a cable connecting the contact unit to the chassis suspension component, the contact unit being detachably mountable on the chassis suspension component.

22 . The chassis suspension of claim 21 , further comprising a holder arranged on the cylinder, wherein the contact unit is detachably mountable to the holder.
