ABSTRACT:
A rear wheel suspension system of a vehicle where front and rear ends of leaf spring are disposed at left and right side frames of a body via front and rear mounting parts to a centrally fixed rear axle, wherein the front mounting part on the leaf spring comprises: a mounting block for pivoting a front end of the leaf spring; a compliant bush wherein one side surface of the compliant bush is connected to the mounting block; and a bracket connected to the other side surface of the compliant bush to be fixed to a side frame. The rear end of the mounting block is pivoted to the side frame via a control link that is a slightly slanted downward against the side frame and is arranged with an inward inclination, a rear end of the mounting block being pivoted to the side frame via a control link that is a slanted downwardly against the side frame and is arranged with an inward inclination defining a relative orientation that imparts an understeering bias to the rear wheel suspension system that offsets the oversteering bias inherent in the suspension system when subjected to various external forces.
