ABSTRACT:
An independent rear suspension system according to the invention comprises two parallel lateral links having outboard ends mounted via respective elastic bushes on a wheel support carrying a road wheel and inboard ends mounted via respective elastic bushes on a vehicle body. The inboard end of the front lateral link is mounted about an inclined pivot axis. This pivot axis is so inclined from the vehicle longitudinal axis as to provide an arrangement whereby when a force is applied to a portion of the front lateral link near the inboard end thereof in a direction along the inclined pivot axis, the front lateral link moves transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle further than the rear lateral link does, causing a toe angle of the road wheel to vary.
