ABSTRACT:
In a motor vehicle wheel suspension system according to this disclosure, the vehicle body is supported on a rigid rear axle by left and right coil springs. A pair of longitudinal suspension arms are pivotally connected to left and right axle brackets and to the vehicle body. The lower ends of left and right shock absorbers are connected to the axle brackets by pivots having transverse horizontal axes that are situated rearwardly of the axle. Each shock absorber has a link that is rigid with an intermediate part thereof and extends forwardly. Each link is connected to the adjacent one of the axle brackets by a pivot having a vertical axis. The construction of the connection between the shock absorbers and the axle permits the shock absorbers to function as reaction members with respect to braking torque loads on the axle. A transverse Panhard rod locates the body lateral with respect to the axle.
