ABSTRACT:
A rear suspension for motor vehicles includes a cross member (2) for supporting the suspension, which is fixed at its ends (2a), with the interposition of rubber blocks (3), to two side members (4) fixed under the floor of the motor vehicle. The suspension also includes, in association with each rear wheel, a lower arm (15) pivotably mounted at one end on the respective end (2b) of the cross member (2) and at the other end on the respective wheel support (14). The lower end (15) also has a part which extends forwardly from the cross member (2) and is articulated at its front end to an auxiliary support (21) provided with means for fixing it in an adjustable position under the motor vehicle body. The axes of pivoting of the lower arm (15) relative to the body and relative to the wheel support (14) are parallel and inclined at an angle I to the longitudinal axis. An upper transverse strut (27) is articulated at its ends to the cross member (2) and to the wheel support (14) so as to form an articulated quadrilateral with the lower arm (15). The spring-shock-absorber unit (32, 33) is interposed between the lower arm (15) and the end (2a) of the cross member. Finally, an inclined tie rod (34) is connected at its ends to the auxiliary support (21) and to the cross member (2b), and an anti-roll stabilizer bar (36) is supported by means of members (37) dependant from the body and is connected at its ends to the two wheel supports (14).
