ABSTRACT:
A vehicle rear-suspension system comprises a trailing arm one end of which is connected to the vehicle body by way of a resilient bushing for up-and-down pivotal movement, a wheel hub for supporting a rear wheel for rotation, a ball joint connecting the wheel hub to the trailing arm so as to permit pivotal movement of the wheel hub about a point relative to the trailing arm, and first and second resilient bushings which resiliently connect the wheel hub to the trailing arm, the ball joint and the first and second resilient bushings being arranged to cause the rear wheel to toe in against a force acting thereon. A first control link is fixed to said trailing arm at one end, and a second control link is connected for pivotal movement to the other end of the first control link at one end. The second control link is connected for pivotal movement to the vehicle body at the other end. The body side pivotal center of the second control link is offset from the pivotal axis of the trailing arm by a preset amount.
