ABSTRACT:
An independent rear wheel suspension for an automobile type vehicle wherein each wheel effects negative camber orientation during both jounce and rebound deflection, the suspension including a pair of control arms supported on the vehicle body for pivotal movement about transverse axes of the body, a pair of wheel support members connected at their lower ends to respective ones of the control arms for relative pivotal movement about longitudinal axes of the control arms, and a pair of lateral control rods each having an outboard end connected to a corresponding wheel support member above the control arm connections for universal pivotal movement and to the vehicle body at the center plane thereof also for universal pivotal movement. The lower and upper portions of each wheel support member traverse arcs of substantially infinite and finite, respectively, lateral radii during jounce and rebound so that negative camber orientation is effected.
