ABSTRACT:
The arm (14) comprises a first transverse connecting element (18), articulated at its transversely outer end to a wheel-carrier (10) by means of a pair of bushes (22, 24) and at its transversely inner end to the vehicle body by means of a bush (20), a second transverse connecting element (28), articulated at its transversely outer end to the wheel-carrier (10) by means of a bush (32) and at its transversely inner end to the vehicle body by means of a bush (30), and a longitudinal interconnecting element (34) which connects the first and the second connecting element (18, 28) to each other at transversely inner portions thereof. The first and the second connecting elements (18, 28) converge towards the outside of the vehicle. The first connecting element (18) is stiff in torsion, whereas the second connecting element (28) and the interconnecting element (34) have cross-sections such that the vertical stiffness of the arm (14) at the point of articulation of the second connecting element (28) to the wheel-carrier (10) is negligible with respect to the vertical stiffness at the point of articulation of the first connecting element (18) to the wheel-carrier (10). Torques acting on the wheel-carrier (10) around a transverse axis (ESAy) are thus only reacted by the first connecting element (18).
