ABSTRACT:
A rear suspension system for automobiles, comprising: a trailing arm pivoted to the automobile body at its front end and to a knuckle at its rear end; a first and a second lateral links extending laterally across an upper portion and a lower portion of the knuckle and the corresponding locations of the automobile body, respectively; and a third lateral link extending laterally across an intermediate position of the knuckle, located between the upper portion and the lower portion of the knuckle and behind a central axial line of a wheel axle of the knuckle, and the corresponding location of the automobile body. The second lateral link has a substantially same length as the third lateral link. Thus, the mounting positions of the lower end of the shock absorber can be lowered, and the resistance against the changes in the toe angle and the camber angle is increased. If the first lateral link is shorter than the second lateral link, the camber angle of the outer wheel of a vehicle making a turn can become negative so as to improve the cornering limit of the automobile.
