1. A chassis component, for a wheel suspension, comprising:
at least two pivot points,
a connecting structure connecting the two pivot points to one another, the connecting structure having an outer surface,
at least two conductive sections, each of the conductive sections having contact points, the conductive sections are integrated into the connecting structure such that only contact points of the conductive sections emerge at the outer surface of the connecting structure,
at least one sensor being formed as a piezo-resistive thin film,
the piezo-resistive thin film being poured or sprayed onto a section of the outer surface of the connecting structure such that the sensor connects the contact points of the conductive sections to one another.
