1. A method for stabilizing a vehicle combination having a towing vehicle and a trailer, the method comprising:
- ascertaining lateral forces acting on at least one wheel or at least one tire with a sensory system that detects wheel forces or tire forces;
detecting a fishtailing movement of the trailer from the ascertained lateral forces; and
performing, in the event of a detected fishtailing movement of the trailer, at least one of a braking intervention and a steering intervention.

Abstract
A method and device for detecting and stabilizing a fishtailing trailer using wheel forces. In particular, a method for stabilizing a vehicle combination made up of a towing vehicle and a trailer in which lateral forces acting on at least one wheel or at least one tire are ascertained with the aid of a sensory system that detects wheel forces or tire forces, the existence of a fishtailing movement of the trailer is detected from the ascertained lateral forces and, in the event of a detected fishtailing movement of the trailer, a braking intervention and/or steering intervention is performed.
