ABSTRACT:
In a rear suspension system of an automobile, a pair of left and right trailing arms for rear wheels have forward extension arms which extend forwardly past the pivot portions of the trailing arms to the automobile body and the front ends of the extension arms are relatively swingably connected to ends of a relay rod which is resiliently displaceable in the lateral direction of the body through compensator arms inclined inwardly at their front ends. This permits a "toe-in" to be given to each rear wheel when the automobile turns with brake being effected, whereas when the wheels are running on road surfaces of largely different coefficients of friction during braking, a "toe-out" is given to one rear wheel associated with the road surface of higher coefficient of friction.
