ABSTRACT:
An independent suspension system for a rear wheel of an automotive vehicle includes a wheel carrier for rotatably supporting a rear wheel. The wheel carrier is supported movably in the vertical and fore-and-aft directions with respect to the vehicle body, through a plurality of lateral links and a longitudinal link. The longitudinal link is connected at its front end to the vehicle body and at its rear end to the wheel carrier. The longitudinal link is integrally provided with an extended section which is extended from its rear end in the direction away from its front end to form a rear-most end. The extended section is axially aligned with the longitudinal link and connected at the rear-most end with one of the lateral links through an elastomeric bushing. The elastomeric bushing is constructed to establish a stiff connection in the vertical direction and a soft connection in the fore-and-aft and lateral directions with respect to the vehicle body, between the longitudinal links and one of the lateral link.
