ABSTRACT:
A road wheel suspension includes a wishbone 13 which may be for a rear driven wheel. Fore-and-aft compliance is introduced into the suspension without the usual problems of steering by mounting the wishbone on the body via a link 15 which can pivot about a transverse axis. In one embodiment, the inner ends of the front wishbone arms are mounted at the bottom of (plate-shaped) link 15, which is apertured to allow the propshaft to extend through, and the inner ends of the rear arms are resiliently secured to cross-member 21. The link is pivotally mounted on the final drive casing 14 about a transverse axis. The wishbones are stiff as far as lateral deflections are concerned but compliant for fore-and-aft deflections, the latter feature promoting increased ride comfort.
