ABSTRACT:
An articulated quadrilateral suspension for the front steered wheels of a motor vehicle includes a vertical articulation arm rigidly connected to the fork-shaped wheel support by two separate elements which are spaced apart in a substantially longitudinally direction. The ends of the articulation arm are articulated to respective pivoting arms which are in turn articulated to the body of the vehicle. A shock-absorber with a coaxial helical spring is arranged substantially vertically adjacent the articulation arm, with its upper end connected to the body and its lower end articulated to the lower pivoting arm.
