ABSTRACT:
The drawings illustrate a rear suspension system for a motor vehicle, including a laterally extending member connected by vertically oriented pivotal means to a wheel carrier. A torsion bar is formed to include a transversely oriented center portion connected to the frame, and longitudinally oriented end portions connected at the distal ends thereof to the wheel carriers rearward of the pivotal connection between the wheel carrier, and the laterally extending member such that the distal ends of the torsion bar can move in the vertical direction only, thereby serving as both a stabilizer bar and a link for providing roll steer characteristics to the rear wheels. As an alternate embodiment, adjustable mounting means may be operatively connected between the distal ends of the torsion bar and the wheel carriers for providing toe-in or toe-out adjustment for the rear wheels.
