ABSTRACT:
An "adaptive" wheel suspension linkage for automobiles and the like includes a pair of lateral extending arms or links spaced fore and aft of one another at pivots on the auto chassis and pivotally secured to the wheel knuckle, with one of such links having its inboard end automatically or adaptively adjusted to various positions vertically on the chassis, without any significant lateral displacement, in response to varying operating conditions, so as to suitably vary the roll steer property of the linkage.
