ABSTRACT:
In a motor vehicle rear wheel suspension according to one embodiment of this disclosure, the vehicle body is supported on a rigid rear axle by left and right leaf springs. Each leaf spring is pivotally connected to an axle bracket. 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.
