ABSTRACT:
The suspension comprises at least one lower arm (14, 18; 42; 14) connected (24, 34; 24) to the vehicle body and at least one upper link (16; 58; 60, 62; 64; 66; 16, 68) connected (30; 63; 67; 30,71) to the vehicle body (20). The lower arm (14, 18; 42; 14) carries at least two substantially blade-like flexible members (22, 23; 22, 23, 25), which are connected (36, 37; 36, 37, 39) to the wheel carrier of the wheel (12) and the planes of which intersect along one common axis (T1) of predetermined orientation defining a first shear axis of the suspension. The at least one lower arm (14, 18; 42; 14) is configured so as to define a second shear axis (T2) of predetermined orientation acting in series with the first axis (T1), in such a manner that when the wheel carrier is subject to an external force acting in a substantially horizontal plane the displacement of the wheel carrier (12) results from the combination of the rotations of the wheel carrier about the two shear axes (T1, T2).
